Today we begun with an exercise that i like very much. As usual, we begun balancing the space however this time we had to move as a whole group, or maybe follow one leader and following his way of moving through out the space. Whenever we do this exercise, i ALWAYS picture myself as the avatar controling the moolescules around him (me) withevery part of my body. Then we proceeded to play with the state of matter of our bodies, we were SAND, ICE, WATER, AIR, FIRE, WATER, ICE and SAND again. With this we learned about the density and the weight of each element as well as how it moves? does it flor? ....Finally, we played with ANIMALS. We had to chose and animal that ressembled our character. Thinking of Flash I always think of a rat, maybe that's becasue i think of Wormtail...HOWEVER, inmediatly i arched my column and made a posture ofa hunch back...and this also entered into the concept of nerd, and so, i decided to play with a Gorilla. This helped me also, because i pictured flash as a very angry character and so the breathing of the gorilla helped me with that, I remember that in Tarzan whenever the gorillas got mad, their noses grew big big big and sort of smoke came shooting out of their nostrils!! Then little by little we had to turn into a person, and finally i could see how flash moved and his posture. With this exercise i realized that i used the upper parts of my legs (muslos) to move like a gorilla and that i have very strong ones too, however, it made me realise that humans don't normaly use those in such a way....PLUS, i noticed that whenver rupert asks for a "posture" my first reaction is always, BEND KNEES, ARCH BACK, ELBOWS BENT, FACE UP, ANGRY FACE and mouth close...ALWAYS, and it remind of wolverine...ready to attack.The question for today came when roberto told me: you managed to act as flash, but maybe you will fall from the level you are...WHAT?! will it be possible not to do as well as i was doing it now!? howcome!?
Excellent entry, though the ending was quite weak. Don't let your insecurities get in the way of your development as a performer. One of your tasks will be to analyze how and why your level went down at the end, and what challenges that situation poses on an actor.
