Holy. Crap. Just had my first acting class and I discovered one thing and had another reinforced.
Firstly, I am very sensitive to changing energy. We did this exercise and I'm not entirely sure how to explain it. But my partner and I were very in tune with each other. Like we snapped into sync faster than any of the other groups. And on several occasions I was reacting to the shifting energy when the prof was sort of manipulating it. I'm just going to blame the hyperreflexia for the extra sensitivity.
But there was that. And then there was the fact that once again, I had reinforced my difference of thought. He asked us girls what our first thought was if he were to come to us and tell us there had been a fight.
Mine? Bloody. The others were more wordy and emotional. And when he asked us why he got into acting, I said to be more than I am. Which is a very versatile answer and more difficult to pin down a direct meaning than the other answers, which were about other people. Mine was about me. The prof also said that it was an interesting answer and he noticed how sensitive I am to energy which isn't something I was aware of before this. But it scarily makes sense for various reasons that I don't feel obliged to talk about or explain. That makes me feel like I have potential. There were two things he said today that gave me pause. First, "Love the character." Second, "We're all afraid and we're all in pain."
And just from that one class, I feel more connected with people. Which is weird. Not really used to this.
But I did get to do some connecting, with sociology, which is what I was hoping for when I took the class which gave me many headaches.
Also, and just to put this down, that class was exhausting. I mean, granted I was up at 3:30 am for work but it was a little mentally grueling and I just want to sleep. But I can't as I have a class in, oh, twenty minutes.
I hope you all have a fantastic day and u will talk to you later.
