"I was significantly influenced by it, even at the youthful age of five or six, so I 'm staggeringly eager to light the up and coming recovery in the fall of 2015." Another positive impact was Lighting Designer Theron Musser. "I 'll always remember seeing her unfathomable work on A Chorus Line when I was an adolescent," reviews Holder. "It was her work that truly permitted me to see the power, excellence, and verse of stage lighting for the primary time. “As he neared school, Holder was similarly enthusiastic about theater, music, and the outside, so he went to The University of Maine, where he majored in ranger service while seeking after theater and music in a dynamic performing expressions program.

For many years, the principle ideas for acting were established by Konstantin Stanislavski, who was a Russian actor and director. Stanislavski’s practical ideas and theories which were called his “system”, were eventually altered by those who succeeded him. When Stanislavski’s former students brought Stanislavski’s system to America, it still hadn’t been fully completed, thus it it suffered alterations in Russia. The alterations made to Stanislavski’s system were contorted by Lee Strasburg into what came to be known as “ the Method”.

Another playwright mentioned was Tom Stoppard with plays like Arcadia or R and G are dead, crucial to make himself known. Federico Garcia Lorca was also mentioned, a Spanish playwright and poet that I already knew, but interesting to hear that other people from the seminar class share the love for him.

In addition, it was the first time to hear about Arthur Miller, with plays like The Crucible, The Death of a Salesman or Tragic Hero. Samuel Becket was definitely a well-known name, and we talked about how different is Waiting for Godot. In contrast to the last statement, Alan Bennett is a playwright that I discovered in this seminar, with

The play that I choose to do the Google video search of was The Boys Next Door.
