the silent method to filming while capturing sound was on a technical level very interesting. Like in Shadow of the Vampire, watching the actors receive their direction while acting is very revealing as to the relationship between actor and director. It is much less collaborative when the actors do so much less. The conception of movie actors by theatrical actors at this time is shown to be very unimpressed, with Kathy even referring to Don as just “a shadow on film.” Money also could be saved for

The speaker of the poem “Kubla Kahn” tells of how a man named Kubla Khan went on an exploration to the land of Xanadu. In Xanadu the man named Kubla, found a fascinating pleasure-dome that was as he says “a miracle of rare device” because the dome was made up of caves of ice and was found in a sunny area. The speaker describes the contrasting composition of Xanadu. While there are gardens blossoming with incense-bearing trees and “sunny spots of greenery,” across the “deep romantic chasm” in Xanadu

This story by Nilo Cruz drew my attention in a matter of seconds thanks to the good quality of the play. In general, the acting was good but not superb. Some actors in this play often forgot or made pauses/breaks in their lines which made it difficult to understand or focus what the story is trying to say. As the play was making progress, I figured that some actors needed more capability to react to other character’s lines more naturally. The interactions between actors felt awfully in sequence. For

Comments What was your biggest challenge as an actor and how did you overcome it? ‘My mother said I never should’ is a naturalistic play which meant that I had to resist playing my role of Margaret in my preferred heightened-naturalism style. It would have detracted from the realist style if I had played Margaret with a voice would have been too high-pitched and a posture, stereotypical of a middle aged, middle class woman. I overcame this by preparing for my role as Margaret by using the Stanislavski

The study of theory, especially translated theory, requires an open mind to determine its applicability to various and ever-changing situations.
