Today, I finally found the perfect Astolfo! I think....everybody likes it.
Astolfo
Stance: Back straight, shoulders down, chin up (distance (pinky and neck)), legs fairly toguether, arms behind and right hand holds the left DOLL (muñeca...aaah! se me fue la palabra)...wrist! (ahi ta) and i'm gonna be seriuos. I think a BIG SMILE will ruin the "royal" thing going on.
Voice: After playing with my voice for a whole day I think, the voice I got at the end was perfect. I'll give it a try next time! My voice is going to be very very very deep, I think the deepest from all the play! :P (I'm unique..) this also highlights the idea of MACHO and MAN in the play. I impose character with my voice...however i noticed, it is sort of agressive...instead of ..flirting..when I speak to Star. Will see, what happens, maybe is just the way i say it.
Look: pelo marron! I want to have brown hair! if the Clarines / trombones can dye their hair white! i want my hair to be ..brown. ...for a change... cuase BLONDE is not good, so either black or brown. ....and uhm (claudia and sandrita) can my outfit be BLUE?! :D cause i'm the blue prince..
Lines: still there are more lines to memorize! I'm learning my lines, slowly but I am! now...I have to learn more lines for saturday!
Scenery:
These are thoughts we are thinking of, for the play! and we don't need to forget for next tuesday ..right?
1) second "nicho" for the play is going to be YES or YES, we decided it is a must. However, we need to decide wheter make it a Balcony or another nicho.
2) First Nicho: height: 2 m 30 cm
3) how much further will we expand the theater!?
Rehearsal!
Todays rehearsal was a scene I wasn't participating and i was doing anything, so I decided to watch how the scene developed, and i started suggesting small details that the DT liked, so I think my director carrier is about to begin! I learned a lot just from watching Rodrigo act, from the clarines not really becuase they are not the same type of character as me, neither Segismundo, but.. atleast at some point, he is supposed to be. I learned that after learning lines, you have to find the ACTIONS that you'll have to do while speaking. Also I learned the movement in stage, how rodrigo owned the stage, is a thing i really don't think i do naturally, he moved from one side to the other....while I have to wait for DT to tell me (mental note: WORK ON THAT!) TONE! rodrigo never lost the tone, I could always undestand what he was saying! plus....the intention too! AND THE FACE EXPRETIONS! ..so I think, I need to start watching and making sure that i learn what Rodrigo has to teach me. (thank you very much for that rodrigo!!)
Next week we are going to watch some plays! I hope that I learn learn as much or even more as from today. So, all this comes back to: does acting is tought?! or ...what..cause i think, that Rodrigo did teach me how to act, a little bit, even though is not intentionally! however, the things that rodrigo does, i need to give them my personal touch, and hopefully that would teach others too! so,back to my question: up to what extend you learn how to act?!
