10/26/11 Journal

Today was Wensday, which meant it was supposed to be our production day. Instead, we did acting since we haven't in a while. For the first half of class, we got to watch some of the class do their scenes. We learned that a big mistake we are making is we can tell people are looking at us, which makes us act more fake than we normally would. We got to see a German dance video compared to a Beyonce music video, which had the exact same dances but were presented differently. The German dancers acted a lot more naturally while the dancers in the music video did not. During the second half of class, I worked on my scene on my own a little bit, since Zari was doing table work. Robbie and I also sketched some costume ideas for a play that Brett and I are working on together.
