It's John Again?!!!

Hi this is John again, and this is the third time I take Acting class! Since the first time I took this class, I started loving acting because I never get tired with it. It started at the first play I saw last year which was Galileo, and I was surprised by the play because I didn't expect that they did such a great job. After I saw the play I decided to start doing acting things, so I took my first acting class. When I was in China I used to do a lot of different performance, but I had never done any English performance, so I started my English acting life here.

In my first acting class I learned a new thing called theater and play which is so different from a movie, and the play is more interesting than movie because you can never find two exact same play even with exact same crew and cast, but a movie is always the same. After my first acting class, I made my mind to join in the theater for the afternoon activity, and I did. The first English play I did in the spring was Peter Pan, and I have to say this play changed my life. Through the process of the play, I had made so many good friends from different place and they are all talented. Before I joined this play, I was blocking myself in the Chinese circle which was my comfort zone. However, Peter Pan brought my out of my little circle, and now I am in a huge globe. It also changed my goals and plans for my future. I was thinking to major in business, so I can help with my family, but I realized that my heart is set for acting and theater. So, now I will major in theater in college, and I will keep doing it in the future.

Because of my decisions, I have to learn more and more about theater not just acting, and that is why I am here in this class again. I want to learn more about directing, stage settingh and costuming. The more I learn the more harder I find theater is because I know that a play includes so many details, and some of them the audience may not even notice, but we have to have them because the play has to be realistic. For example, I changed my cane twice to represent the difference and connection between Mr. Darling and Curly. However, only one person noticed this small change. Even though, I know only one person will see that, I still do it because this one small change is a part of characters. I am looking forward to work and learn more deeply, and I wish we can all improved ourselves at the end of the semester!
