The basic communication concepts can be utilized in everyday conversation and can be seen in different forms of media, such as television and film. In this paper, the 1962 version of The Miracle Worker is discussed and analyzed in terms of these communication topics and I will discuss how our communications class made me see this movie differently. In the movie, the concepts regarding conflict, perception, non-verbal communication, and paralanguage make up the majority of the film’s plotline. Each one of these principles will be discussed in a paragraph and I will discuss how the concept was represented in the film.

The outstanding component of acting is that it is an aspect that calls for a wide variety of skills. A single person to form a totally different personality from that possessed by the acting person must synchronize these skills. Some of the most common skills necessary for an actor are vocal projection, physical expressiveness, speech clarity, well-developed imagination, emotional facility drama interpretive ability. Also not to forget mentioning other important capabilities that an actor must have are; utilization of accents, body languages, dialects, improvisation, mimicry, emulation, stage combat and observation (Jurkowski and Francis 44).

Which is quite a clear illustration of the purpose or 'role' of stanislavskian actors. Stanislavski set out a way of preparing for a role so that the actor could fulfil his role of pure imitation. He started off by asking the actor to explore the character. He wanted to know what their objective was in each unit of action and what their super objective was. The super objective was the sum of all the units and their objectives.

The lesson was to continue exploring the five senses. The class was read aloud the book “The 5 Senses” by Nuria Roca. The objective was for students to understand how each of the five senses work. The teacher reviewed the five senses and briefly reminded students how each sense works. The task of the lesson was for students to answer WH-questions on a worksheet. Instructions were given in small steps, and the activity was broken up into sequence of smaller steps over the week. The worksheet that was provided had visual illustrations and directions were highlighted. Students were to work in small groups, with partial level of support from teachers and paraprofessionals. The standards were CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.2.1: ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.2.3: describe how characters in a story respond to major events and challenges. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.2.3: know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding

For this assignment my family and dog went to Jay cooke state park. Whe hiked a trail alongside the rushing waters of the Saint louis river. While we hiked I discovered all the opportunities I got to use all 5 senses.

In this essay I will use the five senses in describing a trip to the movies the five senses being sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. Senses we all use every day and that most of us would find difficult to live without.

Our choice to tell stories should exist in the same moment that we identify an audience who needs to hear that story – now, in this context, in this time, and in this medium. The best relationship with an audience begins dramaturgically, at the beginning of a rehearsal process. We must ask: How can we keep our minds open to the audience we have and also to the audience we want and the audience with whom we hope to collaborate? How do we enter a community and work with new people, learn from them and hope they learn from us? Partner with our similar goals and share resources. Work with them and never for them. Theatre isn’t a service—it’s a

To act is to breath life into a story that is otherwise a corpse, filled with the paradox of potential energy. Also known as one of the most difficult crafts to master, acting is many things, but overall the skill of adapting words into a visual experience that audiences then digest and carry with them as they continue in their own lives. When a non-actor thinks about acting, one may assume it is an easy job, but the conscious psychological work (skilled) actors put forth in their performances is no easy feat, especially if they are able to come across so authentically that viewers assume acting is easy. However, acting is difficult, and even more difficult when playing a role that was adapted from a novel, as scholar Dudley Andrew asserts in his chapter “Adaptation” in James Naremore’s book “Film Adaptation.” He points out that because the novel has a large fan base before it is adapted, there is also a group of people waiting to scrutinize the film once made. This, in turn, grants the novel a greater sense of superiority over the adaptation, because viewers- fans of the novel- assume that the film will be worse.

Stanislavsky wrote three novels that discuss his acting method; An Actor Prepares, Building a Character, and Creating a Role. These books are from the perspective of a

Constantin Stanislavski believed that it was essential for actors to inhabit authentic emotion on stage so the actors could draw upon feelings one may have experienced in their own lives, thus making the performance more real and truthful. Stanislavski then created the technique, method acting, to do exactly that. Not only can method acting be rewarding, there are psychological consequences as well. It is important to study method acting so actors can know the dangers and psychological effects it can create. It can also help scientists understand theory of mind; the ability to gain the mindset of another person. Another subject method acting can help with is emotional recall and the emotion regulation it takes to use

Method acting is often misinterpreted as an acting exercise where the actor “becomes” the character, and keeps the persona of that character until they have completed their work. This misguided thinking has been promoted by pop culture and even sometimes by actors themselves. The Lee Strasberg Film & Theatre Institute defines the Method as when “actors use their imagination, sense and emotion to conceive characters with unique and original behavior, creating performances grounded in the human truth of the moment.” This definition focuses more on the relationship between the actor and their character, rather than both being one and the same. Method acting is not a new idea. It is thought to have been considered an acting exercise for
