Today was my only acting day of the week, since I am a minor. We did a few interesting acting games and exercises today. The first one we did was actually a little difficult for me. We were paired up with someone in the class who we had to imitate in-front of the whole class. I was paired with Ashley, and we had to spend about 5 minutes talking to each other and asking questions. The next exercise we did was actually very eye opening. We had to observe the way each student in class walked, and had to try and copy it to the best of our abilities. After that, we did another exercise that really showed people's real personalities. We had to come up with a movement that represented who we are. I did a movement that I catch myself doing all the time. The last two exercises we did were things that we did at our auditions. In one of them was sort of like a domino affect. We had to do exactly what the person before us did, and pass it along. In the last one, we had to say the words "bippity bippity bop" to the people in the circle. If they say "bop" before you do, you move onto the next person. If they didn't they take your place.
