who I am, the one thing that always comes to mind is a stage. During my time in high school I was involved in the theatre department and I always seemed to take part in anything that had to do with acting. Acting became the one thing that I could count on to help me escape from my hard realities. Stepping on that stage and feeling the hot lights burn down on my skin made me feel invincible. Getting that rush of nerves that made my stomach churn always simmered away as I fed off of the audience’s energy
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
In life, we all play different roles. I am a daughter, niece, friend, student, employee and artist. The definition of a social group is two or more people who interact on a regular basis in routine ways and who share a common sense of membership and identity. A social group example would be classmates in one section of a class and an example of an aggregate would be New Yorkers riding the subway together. An aggregate is not a group but a collection of people who briefly share the same physical space
Personal Assessment I really want to start this off by saying thank you, Jenna, for being one of the greatest professors I have had at FAU and one of the greatest acting teachers I have had during my eleven years of theatrical training. During my last three classes with you, I have learned so much about acting and theatre, but so much more about myself. You allowed me to discover how much more there is to me than just what I originally thought. I was able to gain so much confidence throughout your
By reading and writing about personal responsibility, I have learned that if you choose to accept responsibility for your own actions that you are making the first most important decision to your own life creating the outcome of it. Though we may have no choice in unexpected events that happen to us, we most certainly have a choice in how we interpret what arises and in what we decide to do about it. We can always choose to be either a victim or a creator. There are differences
Method acting also known as the “Stanislavsky system” is a dramatic technique in which actors identify as closely as possible with the characters played by correlating experiences from their personal lives to the character. Method acting was developed by a man named Lee Strasberg in the 1950’s at the Actors Studio. But in reality the “Stanislavsky system” is the thing that is being taught more at schools now. Schools focus more on the “pure” Stanislavskian system in other words a pre-stanislavski
When reflecting on what I have read in the book Building an Ethical School by Robert J. Starratt, and the information obtained from my current Ethics and Social Responsibilities class, I feel I have an abundance of valuable information that will guide me in creating an ethical school environment when I am a school leader. When I think of an ethical school, I envision a school where all members of the school make decisions based on what is right and good. I read once
stereotypical behaviors and learned mentalities. When the label “acting white” is placed on individuals due to stereotypes it shines the theory in a myth light. On the other hand, when analyzing mentalities which are learned and produce behaviors, you see that the the theory is a reality and is not as shallow as when it is usually presented.

damaged by the acting they both put on in order to live a dangerous life. These characters in various aspects of the story lived a Nietzschean life; sexual intoxication and cruelty are reflected in the sundry lines of The Hitchhiking Game. I must agree with Nietzsche’s amor fati, which came to play in my own personal life a few years back. Eighteen years of marriage had ended in a loveless and indifferent relationship and surprisingly I stood thrilled to start a new beginning in my adulthood.
