Final blog

I had a lot of fun on both the first practice IA from the first year and the second actual IA from this year.  I found it really fun being able to put together my own performance adaptation from the novels crick crack and The Glass Menagerie.  The first one we did was from the Glass Menagerie I found this one to be more enjoyable because my group was two of my good friends and I felt that we had done a very good job together.  I played a female part which I thought made it quite funny. Then lastly I think that when I did my project on stanislavski that that had helped me the most with becoming a better actor. It taught me ways to get past my fear of public speaking and also how to show more emotion while I am performing.  I had a hard time with actually performing in front of our class I would get nervous and be scared but through therese past two years but over time we worked on ways to stop this and to just be normal. I feel that taking this class has been one of the best choices ive made it has helped me so much and I have learned so much.  It has made me appreciate the art of theater way more. Before i took this class I could care less about it and now I want to go to plays that are around here. It has also made me a much more confident speaker. The presentations we did on famous people in the theater industry really did help me a lot between doing my own project and also listen to everyone else and learning all these new methods of practicing a performance and what to do on stage.  They taught me how to show emotion while im performing. I think my favorite thing from this year was when we went to that play at yeal I thought that it was so funny and had a great time. One thing I wish I could fix is to never let ivan lead a project again after our IA I feel that our performance in that was good I just wish we could have spent our group time a little more focused considering we didn't have much time as a full group with the amount of absences with people in our group.  The funniest part of this class was when we did a mini performance in class this year from the novel my love my ove. I found it hilarious how Ivan was the director and how everyone played a funny part in it like I played the tree that got hit by the car and then jacob singing was so funny. When I read poetry I will be able to understand what is going on in the play so much easier now because have have studied that both years I learned to look for a deeper meaning in poetry. My biggest take away from the year was was the amount of blog post we had so many that I feel like those made me such a better writer because I am writing at  least one blog a week for the most part and sometimes more.
