In our real life, a lot people say things which does not represent what they mean. For example, sometimes when Ms.Guarino say: “Maybe!?” She really means “No that's not a very good idea.” And when John Jiang says: “I don't really know!” He really means “I know but I just cannot tell you what it is exactly about!” Our last scene from English class is one the perfect example of these moments, and it is also the biggest challenge for us to accomplish! As I mentioned before, the hardest part to show from out acting in this scene is our emotion changes! It is hard because the writing of this play gives us the feeling that all of these lines are in the same tone. However, there are many mixed emotions behind the actual dialogue and we want people to sense that even they don't know anything about the actual story.
So how can we do that and how we did? After many changes and practice. We finally gave our final production last Thursday, and I think it's bad because we have shown the doubt in Tom, the sad and anger in Amanda and the confusing in Laura. From the beginning of yelling at each other to slowly building up the temper. It has been a different feeling for me. I used to just think about my character and how will I present; however, this time I spend more time on study how Laura thinks on her head and why she would say each line which helps me a lot when I react to it. I didn't have as many lines as Chrissy had, so I figured to do other things to make my character as effective and interesting as Amanda.
Overall I enjoyed working with Livi and Chrissy, and I am very happy to see all of us becoming better at acting and working with each other! At the end, I am looking forward to work on our final piece next week with four of us in it, and I hope we can make it a perfect ending mark for our last class together!
