Contd.... 13th feb
This sat was a fresh start...a lot more new things to learn. We all came fresh with no clue of what to expect today.
We all started with and intensive dance session on the beats of our own popular’ Bhangra’ and some folk Tamil numbers. Within no time we were exhausted and i personally had no energy...it felt like all our charges were drained
Lesson learnt was its so important for actors to be fit....really fit. So that each time i perform i can give my 100% and this is possible if and only if i am fit physically.
We soon went into dance of expressions and this too was not easy dancing with jus expressions was so very difficult.
I suddenly stated feeling that acting is not all that easy.( i knew expressions were important in acting but this exercise bluntly got me down and made me realise my weakness had to work and work hard i felt personally.
We then had a session of dance over a very old Hindi song. The idea was to jus freak out on this too and give as many expressions as possible ( the dance steps weren’t very important.) This too got me a bit disturbed as i felt i was too caught up focussing on the flow of my body to the music and not my expressions)
I wasn’t really enjoying it i guess. the process of exploring myself through dance was successful ( in sense i realised this was one of my weakness )
We had a small one to one session with sachin ( our director) He told me ,that comedy could be one of my strengths and i jus needed to introspect and look deeper for it . What i understood is to know your strengths form your instincts and to channelize it that’s was we were working at.
I also realised that yes i naturally was inclined to comedy and that i that iam known (among my close friends to be a person who entertains them with witty jokes and situations)
I felt sachin somehow read this and wanted to tap my potential to do comedy. i need to explore it more deeply and fine tune my skills. In this regard introspection helps to get connected. with oneself.
What we did after this was nice we had situations of salesman to sell a product..this is where my instincts really charge me and i quickly got in to the character of a south Indian sales man.
I loved and enjoyed what i did i jus followed my instincts and the improvisations jus kept happening. If i enjoy what i do ,i perform well this is wha ti realised and this is what i experienced in my first play also. And even when you keep doing the same scenes again and again the performance keep getting finer.
We ended our session with production methods and ways of making it reach to more people. We also were to present info about kudiyattam ( a traditional theatre art form originating from kerala)
In today’s dance explorations i liked what vasant did though many may not agree;. But i jus looked what he was exploring.
Im seriously looking forward to learn more from all my sessions and evolve as a better person and a better actor.
