May 29, 2013 (Wednesday) We got 3 hours of theatre to do a workshop about Brecht and some set design of Mother Courage which is lead by Director Helen Leblique. At first i was not nervous on what we will do so far its like an ordinary day for me but when we got to start i got a little nervous then especially when we got our first thing that we will do, and i call it as "GO and STOP GAME" where i do like it cause it has a concentration and i am always getting to what Ms. Helen will say, i found this game as an exciting and i learned some thing from it is about on giving your attention and focus to what the leader will say and do you will do it.
On the 2 thing that we do is to give us an exaggerated moves, its like walking at the center back and forth and some people will give the instruction on how they would like you to be, just like "bend your knees, walk faster, give a big smile...etc...." so i felt in this exercise that it is really weird and its really funny on how you gave the others on how they walk. By giving the other way on walking with exaggerate walk, and after this e do another exercises which is about having a partner that the thing the we exaggerate will do it by your partner and i will do what my partner did, and the last thing that we do is having partners also and we need to make a 1 scene that has relate to the two character, me and bekki do a scene, my role is a grandmother of bekki which is she is my granddaughter that i never seen her because of my daughter that she keep away from me for many years, and we act it at first we don't know what we will do so far because we don't have any idea and also wed on't know what we need to say, but then as we go on we think some ideas that we need to use for me it is not really difficult when you got the idea in my head, so next thing we do is to narrate what we will do and act it, i felt that it is really difficult that you will narrate it and do it also as a character where when we narrate it we should be like us nothing to show to the audience but when we go back to our haracter we need to be exaggerate our moves and act, in this exercises i found it is really difficult to handle two roles in play, but then i know and i experience it that it is not that easy to it as your own.
On the last our of our master class we talked about Mother Courage and give some ideas that what we learned from it why is it look like and asking us if we liked it or not, well for me i got boring and i don't even know some of the words, i really like to watch it than to read it. Ms. Helen. The most important that i learned from her is about all of this questions:
- Do i need the politic become clear? Why?
- What is the most important thing?
- How do i make it exciting in front of the stage?
- How you build and design the show?
When i heard this question that i remember is that it is really important to know especially when we need to do our PPP about Set design.
In this Master Class i really learned more things about brecht and i'm really want this to happen again in my life! :D
May 30, 2013 (Friday) This day is about yesterday on what we learned from Ms. Helen, we should give us 3 important things, and i wrote this 3 things:
- How you build and design the audience
- How do i make it exciting in front of the audience?
- Creating not for yourself but for your audience
I think this is important because it tells about being an actor on how you will present it and being a set designer, and thinking the all this thing that we do is not for us it is for the audience who can appreciate the things and how they will enjoy watching the presentation.
