Movement for Actors is Different than Normal Movement

After learning so much last semester in my Movement for Actors class I am looking forward to applying it to my work this semester. Now that I have sort of grasped the basics of movement, and how to use *tactics to enhance my performance, I am excited to play more. I want to allow myself to find myself more in my body and use it to my advantage to see what works best for me. I am excited to make more discoveries within the knowledge I have already accumulated.

That being said, I am also interested to see where else I can go with the new information I learn as the semester goes on. I can't wait to see how we can apply the tactics and other movements to objects as well.

So far we have only explored ways to move ourselves. And you wouldn't expect it at first, but believe me, it is essential to know how your body can move and work in order to be a successful actor. It all has to do with your core. I'll do a separate post about the core and how it plays into the acting process because it is such a huge aspect.

Anyways, it will be interesting to see how an actor should move with objects and props. I know that the actor must have an opinion about everything around them, so it will be interesting to see how a chair, for example, could affect my character differently than a spoon might...

Acting requires a lot of thought....

*Comment with questions about what exactly tactics are and I will post about it.
