Experience of university acting class 1
This semester, our training class is a two-week drama performance. Unconsciously, the drama class soon ended. Looking back on this class, there are always thousands of feelings. Although the performance is a little regrettable, I am still very excited to think about it now. I am filled with emotion and happy.
Through the study of drama, I realize that if music shocks hearing, dance and art shock vision, then drama is a comprehensive art form integrating the three. Background music renders the atmosphere, and special effects simulate the real scene; Body movements, facial expressions, depicting specific stories; The stage scenery echoes the psychology of the characters. "Synthesis" should be regarded as the essence of drama, and its greatest feature is that it can comprehensively and exaggeratedly use various ways to connect with reality and express the theme. Positive narration, flashback and interpolation are staggered like articles; One-man show, cross talk, song and dance, all kinds of forms are ok, one scene at a time. If we can pay attention to the echo, we can make this drama bring people a rich and colorful feeling without being confused. It is said that drama is like life, probably because of this feature of drama, which makes it closer to people's lives and will be more widely accepted by the public.
Seven groups from Class One participated in the performance, and the content of the drama arrangement was varied. Shakespeare said that his works are "looking in the mirror for nature, looking at his face for virtue, looking at his posture for Huang Tang, and looking at his image and imprint for the times and society". That's true. By participating in the performance of drama, I realized that drama can reflect social reality to some extent. For example, CollegeLife performed by students shows the attitude of modern college students towards life and study. There is also a realistic version of Snow White and the Dwarf, which seems to show us a happy childhood to explore in front of us, and also expresses our yearning and nostalgia for a carefree, innocent and happy childhood. There are also the English version of the essay "Not Bad Money" and the English version of "Legend of Wulin" which have brought us a lot of joy. Of course, I have to mention one of our most failed plays, Yesme Si Nuo Paradox, which filled my drama performance class with regrets.
However, recalling the preparatory process of our group in full swing, it feels so warm and sweet. In the process of preparation, we gained a lot. First of all, we have a deep understanding of the script, which makes us have a further understanding of English-Chinese translation. Secondly, the rehearsal of the group cultivated the spirit of teamwork and mutual learning and communication. Then we get together to discuss the performance after class, and every rehearsal is our good memory. In the process of rehearsal, we guide each other to learn, we love each other, and we work together.
From script selection, role division, line recitation, rehearsal to the final performance, I feel that drama needs more cooperation between people, so unity and cooperation are fully reflected in our rehearsal, which also increases the friendship between students and exercises everyone's cooperation ability. The tacit cooperation between classmates, mutual understanding and Qi Xin's cooperation made me feel the taste of home. It adds a lot of happiness and sweetness to the tense atmosphere of preparing for the final exam.
Drama performance needs language expression, and we all perform in English, so unconsciously, our oral English has also been exercised, teachers and colleagues have commented and corrected our pronunciation, and our English pronunciation has improved a lot.
Happy time always flies. Our training class is over. Everyone is still immersed in the joy of their own performance success, so they are reluctant to go. Because we get too much from the drama performance class, we learn to analyze the plot and choose rehearsals, we correct incorrect pronunciation, we feel warm friendship, we feel the power of unity, and we also see the impermanence of life and the power of our progress from the drama. We are very grateful to our teacher for spending this happy time with us and for his guidance.
Experience the second lesson of university performance
I really gained a lot this semester. In fact, before writing, I carefully read my notes and recalled a lot of things I learned. I found that every exercise we did had his training purpose. Think about it carefully, we will get a lot of things, some more or less. I find that many things are subtle. Many times what I feel is the quality of a good actor.
At the end of the semester, I found that performers need a good creative state! I think a good creative state should be like this:
(1) To be a qualified major, you must reinvent yourself and learn to reinvent yourself.
(2) Actors should learn to adjust that they can't influence their creation through external things, so that they can concentrate.
(3) Body and facial expressions must be vivid and flexible.
(4) When we want to achieve our goal, there will be a series of actions.
(5) Stages and life, stages must be processed, but there must be a causal order.
(6) The actors on the stage must have a purpose and a task!
And I think the actor's ego is integrated with the role, the relationship between the actor and the role. Repeatedly experience people's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and small memories in life. When you encounter an incident, you must come back and think about it and calm down. How many actions have we taken to achieve a goal? Be good at using props, dress yourself up and choose props selectively. Into the role, unaffected.
I think the human body is controlled by thought and breathing. To control your body, you must first control your breathing and heart, in addition. I think the most important thing is to study the purpose of actors' actions. How to proceed from one's own body and heart? As an actor, you should have your own action line. A person's heart drives breathing and body according to the stimulation received by the body, and regards the relationship between the world and the characters as a role. I think this is very important. This sentence seems to have suddenly pointed out the direction for me. What's behind the character is the most important thing. It's not just appearance. We should understand the role from all aspects and control the unity of body and mind.
Try to remain neutral, clear your mind and live in the present. I found that after several workshops, every teacher, artist and master who studied acting had one thing in common, that is, attention, aura and energy. This made me understand a lot. Actors should not lie to their bodies, but should live in the present.
We have been emphasizing the control of the body and found that we should constantly strive to understand our body and see how much the body brings to our emotions and what it will bring to ourselves. Preparation before building a body is essential.
1, the relaxation and tightening of the body affect every muscle of the body, including fingers and eyes ... all nerves are working hard.
2, ready to do any action, freely. If you concentrate. The process of creation and creation will not be interrupted.
3. The limbs are in a relaxed state. The teacher also said that the relaxation of performers is different from that of ordinary people. Our state is like a balloon full of energy.
4. I think people or creators keep a neutral state before creating. I think it's good for creation. If not, they should control their bodies.
5. During the creative process, keep the state unchanged and not be distracted.
6. Respect the contradictory language and body movements given by the opponent. Performers are emotional through their own eyes, and the stimuli that the body feels are immediately expressed through the body and language.
At this stage recently, the teacher also mentioned observing life. I remember one time I went to observe two or three people from other places who came to Shanghai to collect junk. When I keep asking questions, I find that observation is more than just appearance. It turns out that there are many stories behind them, and they also carry families, children and the elderly. That day I suddenly understood or observed that life should be like this. On the other hand, how to deal with what I observe, I think people's observation should be carefully transformed and processed, the time of the work should be cut, and the cutting should be learned. While restoring the life of the characters, I encountered some problems in combination with the behavior that can highlight the characters' personality. Actors judge the character's heart through his appearance and actions, find the bright spot that can attract the audience, and cause the audience to feel and react like you.
It is necessary to observe and modify selectively to make the works more dramatic and younger. Try to imitate people with different personalities, be careful and clear-headed. We can feel the world through the characters' hearts, and we will get more. Learn to delete, refine and understand people's complex inner feelings (such as what is in my heart, what does this have to do with "I"? This work must have a real understanding of the relationship with "I" and a sense of life.
We are doing a life action, and we must have a purpose. I have a deep understanding of this, because if there is no clear purpose on the stage, there will be what we usually call the feeling of not standing on the stage. Without a clear purpose, our action route and actions are not obvious, and I feel as if I suddenly understand a lot. My actions should have a clear purpose.
Actors' feelings and feelings should be very clear and precise, such as (I love someone, my feelings, how much I love her). We should be precise about our feelings, try to ask ourselves why we are doing this, and try to ask ourselves questions. Give yourself a clear purpose, feel accurately, and drive a certain part of the body to feel the environment. I know a lot of things in class, or I suddenly understood them when the teacher commented. I feel that my acquisition is achieved through the combination of practice and theory in class. I find this is a way for me to improve myself. While thinking about my own problems, I suddenly feel penetrated by the comments of the teacher's professional language, which feels good. Rationality, I feel that I have solved this problem. I remember when I was doing a problem with a distant place, the teacher suddenly said that I had used a lot of experience and my brain had been thinking rationally. From then on, I seemed to be awakened by a stick.
In fact, during this time, I have been thinking about a problem, that is, actors need a lot of rational thinking before creating, and they should consider the rationality of roles, actions and lines ... but when I am performing, I will think about this and that, and suddenly I find myself too rational to do anything, and I find myself unable to do anything on the stage. There is always a third eye looking at me, and I feel very uncomfortable. I feel stiff when I do any movements and expressions. I think it's terrible on stage. I'm also looking for my own problems, I think it's because I can't devote myself wholeheartedly! This is the problem I encountered in the initial stage. But I found that I was slowly giving my intuition to my body. Slowly observe what my opponent brings me, and then react.
Acting training is a skill that actors need and cultivate. Understand the actor's own purpose on the stage. I remember doing an exercise recently. I sat on the stage, and another person came to talk to me and adapted to each other, but I found that I couldn't communicate with my opponent who came up. I have no purpose or desire in my heart. I feel helpless and don't know what to do. This feeling is very uncomfortable, and it also makes me understand how terrible it is for an actor to have no purpose on the stage, which makes me understand a lot. The real skill is to think from the perspective of the role. An actor must have a real feeling ability, a desire to play a role, share the character of the role with the audience, and understand the behavior motivation and emotion of the role.
Speaking of this, speaking of the opponent's problems, I actually feel that the opponent can bring you everything on the stage. I always wanted to get something from my opponent, and found that everyone was very short-tempered. On the stage, I didn't really put down my heart to pay attention to my opponent. Pay attention to what your opponent brings you, what you get from your opponent, what my opponent really brings me, what I need from my opponent, what I want, and so on. In the last few days of the exam, I gained a lot and found my own shortcomings. I've been looking for a straightforward feeling. These days, I have been weighing between directness and rationality. I found that I can change, but rationality still exists, as if I found straightforwardness in the next few classes. Emotional body, actors need this.
Experience the third lesson of university performance
I don't know when I got into the habit of writing a summary. I took acting lessons for three years. This is our major. Now that my acting class is over, there is no arrangement for acting class in the third year of high school. From the first year of my freshman year, I have always had a question: We are studying broadcasting and hosting, so why should we take acting classes? Now think about it, along the way, finally answered the questions in my heart. I learned a lot in acting class. Here are some of my feelings:
The performance class of 20__ in the last semester of freshman year is mainly four parts of study. They are liberating nature, animal imitation, character imitation and observing life sketch. Liberate nature, and the teacher will lead us to play some games. At that time, the most commonly played game was the "killing game". Mainly the training of reaction ability and observation ability. Until now, students in our class will often get together to play "killing people". Ha ha. In addition, students usually imitate penguins, kangaroos, cats, dogs, chickens, snakes, lions, ducks, frogs and so on in the process of doing exercises. There are rural girls, blind people, mental patients, thieves, nurses and so on. The teacher took these four contents as the content of the final exam. My animal imitation is a chicken, but my personality imitation is blind. The sketch of observing life is "Three Pregnant Women" in cooperation with other students. Unfortunately, my scores of animal imitation and character imitation were not high at that time, and my work summary was "Summary of College Students' Performance Class". The score of the sketch is ok. Although I have been trained to liberate my nature, I always feel that I still can't let go, as if I were imprisoned by something.
20__ year-old freshman performance class, mainly sketch training. At that time, our group rehearsed the sketch "Fog in the Snow" reflecting the mine disaster. It seems that the teacher gave high marks in the final exam.
In 20__, the performance class of the second semester of Senior Two was sketch creation training. Usually, I have been trained in different imaginations of the same thing in class, and later the vivid practice of different imaginations of the same thing has also improved. During the final exam, the teacher asked us to create our own sketches. At that time, our exam composition was called "Recruitment", which was compiled by a senior one year older than me. Now my senior year has been an anchor in TV station.
20__, sophomore performance class next semester, we rehearsed the Gao Xingjian station.
20__ My acting class last semester in my junior year was film and television stage performance. A new acting teacher just graduated from Shanghai Theatre Academy. Our classmates all like her very much. Practice musical elements and perform some impromptu performances in class. I also rehearsed The Mist of Xu Mao and His Daughters, Four Generations under One roof, The Chameleon, The Gift of Maggie and so on. Know a lot about stage scheduling.
20__, junior year next semester, did a lot of exercises about capturing emotions. Gradually adapted to the camera. In the last few weeks, I rehearsed late, borrowing and replacing. I have a preliminary understanding of film shooting and am addicted to actors. I also learned video editing software. I have a special sense of accomplishment when I pieced the pieces together into a complete video short play.
After three years of acting lessons, two acting teachers taught us. The first teacher can be fierce sometimes. The students in our class once did not understand him, including me, and sometimes felt that the acting class was particularly long. Later, in a class of "Fundamentals of Broadcasting Creation", my classmates interviewed him, and I got to know him from that time. He said something to us, and I always remember that "whenever you respect your seniors, no matter what their major, you should respect them." After all, they are your seniors and you can learn a lot from them. " Later, when I was a junior, Teacher Lu came to teach us. He had just graduated from Shanghai Theatre Academy when he came to teach us. I feel very happy to learn from such an excellent teacher. Our classmates all like her very much. Soon, she will be a mother. It is estimated that her baby will be a Leo! It's really hard. You usually rehearse for us.
The performance class is over, and I have learned a lot from two performance teachers in these three years. Continue to refuel in future professional study!
Experience University Performance Class 4
Time flies, and the semester of 10 ends in a blink of an eye. This semester is very fulfilling for me. In addition to learning a lot in professional knowledge, it is more important to gain a lot of new insights in all aspects, especially in life.
Since the beginning of this semester, from the initial communication exercises, rhythm exercises, animal simulation and a series of nature-liberating trainings, to character simulation exercises and character observation exercises, I have personally summarized the following experiences in my study:
First, change from the bad performance of pure language.
In the initial exercise, I felt that my reaction ability and adaptability were not bad, but I mostly expressed my thoughts through words, not through specific body movements, and performed simple performance exercises with my imagination. In performances, actors often improvise, which is the most natural and intuitive reflection. Therefore, in the small exercises of each performance class, we often pay attention to the following points: don't deliberately stipulate the actions of yourself and the other party; Don't tell each other what to say (not everyone has the same mode of thinking); Give the other party a strong stimulus, so that you can get a corresponding reward (communication in place will help the performance continue); Don't make the plot too full when you conceive the exercise. This is easy to shape, which is not conducive to the play of the actor's imagination and hinders the space for the actor to improvise. After playing, you should make clear the task, don't use too many words, but feel the subtle changes of the characters you created with your heart and body movements; Don't use performances to explain the prescribed scenes, and don't use film titles to explain the relationship between people.
Everything in the universe is a natural mechanism. The stronger the performance concept and subjective consciousness, the easier it is to hinder this mechanism. Learn to lighten the burden of thinking, turn things into nothing, let go of body and mind, and the mechanism will start on its own, and the emptiness will be full. This is what the teacher told me in the performance notes. Now I can understand the meaning of this sentence better, because through the performance study this semester, I feel the essence of this sentence from practice.
Second, the unity of line and form.
Lack of body language is a big obstacle to my performance. Because of the lack of coordinated body language, my performance is single, inaccurate and unnatural. I think a good actor should not only express his lines accurately, but also unify his body, otherwise it will be difficult to vividly reflect the strength and purpose of his lines.
Everyone has different thinking and understanding at each stage. Now look back at the previous performance notes and the problems found before, and have a deeper understanding and further understanding.
From the practice of liberating nature to the training of simulating and observing characters, I have changed from a nominal group leader who doesn't know how to work to a responsible group leader who knows how to make plans and rules, and the exercise I get is not available in any book or teaching.
In performance practice, some necessary non-object communication is often much more difficult than double communication with the object, because attention should not stay on one person, attention should be concentrated without dispersion, the rhythm should be clear without confusion, and everyone should communicate with each other. In the previous stage of observing the character fragments, I did the practice of non-object communication, but I didn't find it difficult to master it at that time. Although many points are still careless and rough, everything depends on improvisation and improvisation, so everything is possible.
First of all, I pay too much attention to the role I play, not to the performance; Secondly, I didn't deeply understand and dig the soul of the role I played, so I couldn't find the correct state in the performance for a while; Thirdly, the character I play is not clear, and the action clues on the stage are not clear, so that the purpose of every line I say is not clear. Coupled with the unclear rhythm and too little consideration, the characters I created were not sexy and characteristic, which once made me very upset, but after careful and patient comments and adjustments by the teacher after class every time, I seemed to have hope and found the direction.
Third, we should pay attention to the details of life anytime and anywhere.
At the end of the first semester of freshman year, I feel that in addition to the newly learned knowledge and small progress, I still need to sum up myself and find the direction and goal that needs to be improved next. During the holiday, I need to go deeper into my life, practice my lines and improve my professional level. I will keep exercising, practice monologues and vocal music, and don't waste the long winter vacation. Recharge during the holiday to meet new tasks in the new semester. In addition, under the guidance of the teacher, my harvest is that my self-cultivation has made obvious progress, and I will endure three points and retreat three points in everything. Although I am still a little impulsive and tempered sometimes, I am confident that there will be a complete improvement one day. There is also the attitude and discipline of doing things. Without rules, there would be no Fiona Fang. I think I have changed a lot in dealing with people, from impatience to calmness, never listening to others, to listening to others' information more, combining my own views, which is helpful to my usual work and study.
I believe I will do better next semester, and I am ready to meet more difficult tests and challenges.

A semester passed in a hurry, and the activities of the drama club temporarily ended. In retrospect, we went to see the drama performance together, felt the acting skills of the big bosses, and improvised or arranged a complete paragraph together in Du Zhi Concert Hall. Through these activities, we have aroused our interest in drama and improved our ability of improvisation. Every activity of the drama club is very interesting and meaningful. Through every impromptu scriptwriting and stage performance, I have exercised my adaptability and improved my performance ability. I learned some performance knowledge and skills in the drama club, and I am very satisfied with the club activities this semester. The drama club is undoubtedly a warm place, where people who also love drama get together and interpret their love for performance in different ways.
Last semester, senior one chose a drama club among many clubs in the Second Affiliated Middle School. At first, I was attracted by new posters. Different from other societies, the drama club chose retro style. This semester, senior one students learned a lot of acting skills in the drama club and the president, as well as the senior sisters of senior two students. Usually they will perform in groups, one group will perform, and the rest will be the audience. After the performance, they will express their opinions and exchange views. After many performances, we learned how to improvise, the plot should not jump too much, we must have a central idea, and it is clear that only one person can speak on the stage ... We also discussed the script, and inversion is a beautiful finishing touch, but if it is not used properly, it is a disaster, and the logical inversion accident is the basis of a good play. Although there are no good works this semester, I have gained a lot. Performing in a drama club once a week can bring me a lot of happiness. Performing on stage has gradually become familiar. From being nervous at first to not saying a word, I finally learned to compete with my seniors. It really left an unforgettable memory for everyone.
Daily club activities can be summarized as impromptu performances and scripted non-impromptu performances. The exercise brought by impromptu performance is mainly reflected in the adaptability to artistic performance and the degree of self-confidence without stage fright. It is said that art is interlinked, and improvisation must have something in common with speech in a sense. At the same time, it is better because of the sudden changes in the situation ... However, everyone in the club is not idle, and this scene is set, no matter whether it is performed well or not. For a play with a script, the feeling is exactly the most troublesome and difficult to perform. Generally speaking, every activity is to improve and relax students' ability. For example, impromptu drama: from the perspective of improving quality, impromptu drama can exercise our thinking ability (making a reasonable script in a short time, and each actor making lines that echo the character and emotion of the role) and contingency ability (dealing with accidents), as well as teamwork ability (everyone cooperating with each other), communication ability, imagination and so on, so it is still very meaningful to join a community to effectively improve our ability.
