    Tonight was my first time to contacted with theater. In the beginning, I thought this would have a class in the classroom and stay there watching how are others acting then learn the acting skill from them. But the reality is entirely different from what I had imagined. We had a  class in a place like dancing room and do a lot of physical exercises. These make me have quite a lot of interesting to this class. At the beginning of the class, We sat in a circle and listened to professor introducing the course, and his sound makes me feel relax and enjoyable. After that, we started playing a game to make us know each other in the room. During the game I have learned a thing call” DON’T STOP WHEN YOU MAKE A MISTAKE, JUST GO FORWARD.”  Afterward, we started rope skipping; we have to insist for one minute without stop, at that time I got a little cramp in my shank. Finally, we enter into our last part “PASSING STICK.” Two People stand facing each other and throw the stick to each other and also started to increase more stick in during this exercise. When I was passing the stick to my partner and I could fight the pattern on it, but when people are watching us, I did not do well because I feel nervous when people focus on me. Anyway, this is my first theater’s class. During this course, I have learned a lot, and I enjoy this class. Hoping next class would be more interesting.

    Today, I listed for the class, because I lost my wallet when I am having supper at Orchard Park. Probably I am missing the first part of the course. I went back to the class, my classmate and my professor sat in a circle, and a student must be cover his eyes, so he became blind and picked up a scarf in the center of the circle. When is my turn to pick up the scarf, I thought this was easy. Therefore, I got full of confident for picking it up. But this is entirely different than what I thought. This is so hard so that I would practice more by myself at home. Secondly, We found a partner randomly and pick a bamboo stick from the ground, then each of us has to use a finger hold to two ends of the stick and lift it up.We must use our hearing ability to locate where we are. Additionally, We did some yoga. Each of us holding a bamboo stick and form in a circle and moving around until we could not and get back to the original circle. Last activity in the class, we did the helicopter, we put ours left hand up and let it down, then make a circle added up by touching nose and then keep repeating. Finally, we formed a group and began our group activity by acting something without a human.

    In the beginning, we started of laid on the floor with yoga’s mat. We laid on the ground and relaxed our body and imagined a place where we can felt extremely relax.After relaxing our body, we started holding our leg and laid down on yoga’s mat very slowly. This makes us feel the balance on ourself. Then we have begun using our hand to push our body turning to the right, laid down and stand up. The practice for us to learn how to using our hands to project us when to fall on the ground on the stage. Another thing we did in this class is to imagine taking something and break and keep repeating. Last practice for the class is “PASSING STICK” this time we go with the different people, and we did faster and more smoothly that last time. Before we started acting, we learn how to acted a sound story. Professor makes six step for us to learn the sound story.
