Acting Is Behaving Under Imaginary Instances By Stanford Meisner

The past four years, I have breathed, slept, eaten, thought and immersed myself in all thing pertaining to theatre. This is where I discovered to truly work in a team, where I could be without fear of being something I am not, and where I have found peace in the maddening swirl of day to day life, ironic in the fact that theatre is a hectic world. This world is where I have made my best friends and found people I know I can count on and that I insist can depend on me. If I have learned one thing from my experiences in theatre, it is to strive and achieve

The dramatic arts have had great influence on my life and on my perspective of the world. Through this artistic expression, I can take on any persona, freeing both my mind and my heart. The understanding of people’s actions and emotions has shaped me into the young woman I am. Performance and the study of performing, I find, are enlightening, priceless, and eternal. So long as life persists, the timeless themes found in plays and works will persist.

Theatre is a collaboration of various forms of fine art which utilizes live performances presenting before the audience on a stage at a specific place within a scheduled time (Dugdale 10). The message is communicated through a combination of various channels like songs, speech gestures or dances. Stagecraft skills are combined with elements of art to make the performance more physical and near to real life experience. Theatre is categorized broadly into drama, musical theatre, comedy, tragedy and improvisation. Any form of these accepts integration of various production modes and collective reception to influence the artwork being presented. As a result of this cooperation of items in the theatre

Acting on stage with the lights, props, and sets is all surreal. But with that being said acting is much more intricate than to just memorize lines and go on stage and recite them with simple blocking. To combine people and ideas, adding natural movements and gestures, to take the playwright's' words and turn them into your own is the beautiful art form of theatre and acting. To be able to become another person, to feel what they feel, to live their life, is very magical and astounding to me. While acting I lose myself, I am solely whoever I am portraying and I take all matters

Theater is the activity or profession of acting in, producing, directing, or writing plays. It is that of escaping the real world and going into a new one. Not only does one go more in depth into their mind, but they also go into the mind of others.Theater helped me find out who I really am. Growing up, I always enjoyed the idea of stepping into someone else’s shoes, but I never got the chance until I was in the sixth grade.

I enjoy theatre because it provides insight to understanding humans and their behavior. This is not through lectures and textbooks, but through real experiences on a live stage. The understanding of behavior is shown through performing realistic (or metaphorical) situations that audience members can relate to or learn from. This provides comfort for an audience member to compare their lives to the ones that are spilling onstage. For me as the performer, it also provides a comfort because I can conform into another person and flee from any struggles that I am having in my

Since I was eleven years old, I have known that I wanted to act. It was something that my parents never particularly encouraged, nor supported, but the seed was planted. I was sixteen when I first stepped into my high school’s theatre for my first day of drama class, and it changed my life. I felt at home and I would even call it the point of my salvation. From discovering the theatre and joining the world of the performing arts, I have grown so much as a person and have found a sense of self and purpose that I didn’t have before. I could not have imagined that I would, or even could, have the immense passion for acting and theatre that I have today, and it is beyond me how I became so lucky as to find something that makes me so incredibly

"The stage is a magic circle where only the most real things happen, a neutral territory outside the jurisdiction of Fate where stars may be crossed with impunity. A truer and more real place does not exist in all the universe." (P.S. Baber (Cassie Draws the Universe) This quote hits it on the spot for me what theater is, hence with how the play The Monster Who Ate my Peas played out to be brilliant acted and well done play. The things that did well, I thought was the business, the way the actor’s movement just flowed and was not awkward, and the way they interacted with the audience. Yeah, it was a children’s play, but it was very well done. Now, as we proceed I will hit on how the actors performed, the good and bad and the challenges that they had to face.

“A theater actor performs in plays and other types of live productions, such as skits, dinner theater, and cabaret shows. Sometimes actors go on tour. Actors have a talent for performing and entertaining

Theater has been a platform that has been used to deepen our communication and understanding of the complexities of the world around us. It teaches us through language, movement, and the establishment of intimate relationships that play to the contagious nature of emotions.

The theater is the attempt to bring together various human experiences and to project onto ourselves and others. Theater can range be dark, funny, and thought-provoking. It emphasizes human interaction, which in turn helps people can express themselves. Furthermore, it encourages public speaking and brings people together. I enjoy theater because it influences the way we think and feel about our own lives. In addition, it encourages us to take a look at our values and behavior. Participating in the Open Doors Theater Scholarship gives me the excellent opportunity to explore theater arts, learning more about communications, human relation skills, and the world around us. I am passionate about extending my experiences and taking advantage of

What is theatre? Most people are blind to what it really is and what it can actually make you feel. It is more than just some people on a stage. when you're in the audience you feel and can actually sympathize with the people who are there on stage because they are there they are in front of you. Theatre is becoming another person to the extension where you become them. you can think in the moment of what they would think. It is countless hours of character analysis. But most importantly it is an art. An art that will never die. It is the oldest form of art. From cavemen

Acting is the art of revealing a character, and that is what I am demonstrating now, because it has made an meaningful impact on my life. Standing on a set as a camera light beats on me, being studied by these decision makers who I do not even know, yet who have an exceedingly amount of control over my future opportunities is very nerve-wracking. Which in a way is what I am doing now, allowing your decision to impact only the beginning of my collegiate career. It is my job to strengthen the golden thread between me and the lens, to portray the story the best it could be illustrated. When I hear action, silence breaks through and I speak my first line while my character is unveiled and comes to life within me. Since 9th grade I have been acting, not in school plays or shows; but in commercials, tv shows, and print.

Acting is when an actor/ actress performs for people by means of portraying and telling somebody else’s story. Like any other job acting has its pros and cons, and people who act also have good and bad days just like any other person. However, some people try to become an actor/actress just for fame, money, and popularity. Sure it is nice to have those things, but if that is the only reason a person wants to act then there is a huge chance that their acting career will fail and they more than likely will not reach the goal of having fame, money, and popularity. On the other hand though if a human being’s passion is acting, then they should go after their dreams and achieve them no matter what. There are many reasons why acting is worth it. If the reason someone wants to act is because they love it, then “it can help them discover who they are, it can also assist actors/ actresses with expressing themselves better, it allows them to be more creative, it is fun, and it allows the people who act, especially famous thespians, to have a big influence on society and many people’s lives” (Meindl, Anthony).

Since the Medieval ages, Roleplaying, better known as acting, has been a source of entertainment for the smallest of children to the oldest of adults. Considered a skill, it is used in things like the theatre, opera, movies and TV shows, it has even been extended to masquerading as a character in the world wide web.
