In class writing/ acting method an how to apply

Through my classmates presentation about different acting methods taught from famous acting trainer, I discovered many similarities all of them have. Practicing is always important, no matter practicing the script or to practice improvisation actings. For my trainer of the project p—Michael Chekhov, he encourages actors to act naturally using imagination of different situations as the character will face. Interpreting the character's reaction and attitude towards events he or she is facing. He also mentioned that feeling the atmosphere is important, recognizing if the scene is sad or happy then imagine it flowing around the air. 

    However, to make sure I relate and wisely use these techniques I learned from the project and from my classmates presentation. Practicing more would be a key point for me to do as an actor acting for a first time for a project. Other than memorizing the lines, I'll memorize the feeling every time I felt as Friar Laurence, how justice and kind he is towards Juliet and think deeper on how he would react to Juliet being emotional in this specific scene I'm acting. In addition, Michael Chekhov said to imagine a center of energy in the actor's chest then feel it bump and spread through the whole body. I would definitely choose to try this method next time while performing our scene. After being familiar and have memorize all my scripts with my partner, I would try starting off the performance with small body movements untill the energy spreads bigger to every part of my body. I would also choose to video ourselves to see what looks awkward and what looks exegerating. Last but not least, to make sure that me and my partner are interpreting the scene in a similar feeling so we could create an equal and stronger atmosphere. In conclusion, to apply these methods, memorizing the lines are first of all important and is what our group is working on these days. As soon as we complete the fluency we expects to have, we could try both methods from my researched project and hers to see which fits us the best.
