The Skills I Developed In My Play

• Creativity is about taking risks and making connections and is strongly linked to play.

Creativity is about risk taking and making connections, allowing children to explore and express themselves through a variety of media or materials including, dance, music, making things, drawing, painting and make believe and to make new things emerge as a result. Being creative is strongly linked to play and can emerge through a child being absorbed in their own actions and ideas.

I have always struggled with my creativity aspect. I do not have much of an imaginative personality, so I grapple a little more with writing papers that with people that have raging imaginative personalities. Having a creative paper is important for the reader to get intrigued to what the writer is saying. Like in my first paper we had to write, the memoir, I had to use personification to describe a car accident I was in. I had a lot of trouble with this, due to my lack of creativity in my writing. However, with a lot of effort, I was able to succeed in writing my memoir using personification.

To be effectively creative does not only mean that one can come up with certain methods to make the audience believe every word they say, but one can also display true meaning behind their words and to make their writing stand out. Walt Disney was one who could be effectively creative with all of his movies. Although some most of them

If a lifetime in theatre has taught me anything, it’s that an actor never stops learning. Relying on natural talent is a fantasy. At eighteen, I’ve done over 25 musicals and plays, but the first time I participated in a show that wasn't at a school or summer camp I had been going to for years, I was blown away at how little I actually knew about what it takes to be a professional performer-- but it finally felt like art. It needed skill and practice beyond repetition and praise. I pushed myself to be my best and honestly craved criticism because nothing felt better than improvement. Competing with others who have had little to no training did not allow me to grow into the actor I want to be: someone genuine, who tells stories and creates, who

However, I believe that theatre is an entirely different beast, since the arts evolve like living beings. With theatre, training passes the line from beneficial to necessary. A quote I consider often, attributed to athlete Kevin Durant, is “hard works beats talent when talent fails to work hard”. There is such an immense, ridiculous amount of talent in the world that if you are not constantly pushing yourself to work harder and study new techniques, no matter how much talent you think you have, someone else will be ahead of you. Conversely, it’s a reminder that even if you think you don’t have much natural talent you can work as much as possible and surpass someone who does. A unique thing about theatre is that you don’t pause your training when you’re in a show- not only do you have to learn to act, you learn while acting as well. Anyone who’s ever been in a show can tell you that closing is a better quality performance than opening. Through the process of performing the show, you acquire new ways for your character to react, grow in complexity, and get engulfed in the story. There’s always room for improvement and change as an actor, and that’s something that has been true since the art form of theatre began, and will continue to be true forever. So many acting techniques have developed and changed just in the last century, such as the Method, the Uta Hagen, Viewpoints, Meisner, and more. Every one of these

Characterization is the concept where the author builds the character in the reader’s mind, using descriptions, the character’s actions and interactions with other characters. Characters in literature sometimes make dramatic transformations. In the narrative, A Christmas Carol, by, Charles Dickens the character Scrooge goes through “stages” where he slowly changes from grumpy and stingy to jubilant and compassionate.

Being in a play consists of long hours spent in rehearsal trying to better yourself, which can be difficult when if you get nervous every time you say your lines in front of people. Our director gave us near endless notes of constructive criticism for us to improve on. Accepting criticism and learning to be comfortable enough to trust others was a major step I had to learn to be a better actor, as well as a better person. In my role, it was important that I knew what was going on at every moment in a scene, so that I could help others and not let them down. Even though I had a huge responsibility leading the other actors, we were still always

In conclusion, I believe that all three of these aspects are important to being a skilled and great play builder because being a good actor involves being able to develop a character, being a good improviser helps a play builder be a quick thinker and shows how creative one can be on the spot and how fast a scene can be altered, and being great at collaborations because this involves teamwork and cooperation, due to the fact that being able to work with someone else can help advance a piece and or a character. These skills should be acquired to be an effective play

The skills I struggle in are taking my time and going into detail in my writing, also knowing the different types of figurative language.

My dedication to subjects and work has led to previous success; this is maintained by my own high standards. To improve my confidence and communication skills I have featured in a variety of dancing, singing and drama performances. In a drama of Bugsy Malone I was cast the lead; by taking on this challenging role I performed to an audience of all ages, managing to remain calm and in character. This situation could be compared to a barrister in a court, it is important to dedicate to a role whilst staying firm and confident in your words to get the desired

Another few aspects I learned were my learning styles, personality types, and temperaments. These aspects of being a peak performer shed light on the inner workings of your mind to see how you handle different tasks. Some personality types include a visual learner; a person who prefers to see information and read the material, so they have a better understanding of the information given. An auditory learner; a person who prefers to rely on their hearing sense, to focus on different things such as lectures or audiobooks and summarize information out loud to process the information given. As well as a kinesthetic learner; one who prefers to physically touch things, and learn best by doing. Kinesthetic learners like hands-on activities and use models to write down information to

Higher education leads to quality employment and contributes to advances in a career, for a better overall quality of life. Those who complete post-secondary education generally contributes to the success and economic development of local societies throughout the state and nation. For those who go on to graduate school, will gain far better opportunities when gaining knowledge in a specific career. There is a strong connection between education and quality employment, individuals who hold a college certificate, or degree will show future employers that they are driven and complete tasks. College graduates will have gained knowledge of how to apply technical, quantitative, cogent, and moral milieu for critical thinking skills. These skills, prepare college grads for lifelong wisdom and long-term professional success in their perspective field of study.

Following the Kolbs cycle (1984) for my active experimentation the skills I have learned through skill development are communication, decision-making and listening skills.
