I feel in Sam and Jonothon's duologue,the use of Stanislavski's emotion memory technique was obvious. I thought this due to a strong portrayal of feelings and emotions, such as intense anger from Sam and fearfulness from Jonothon. I completely believed their characters and the emotions I was able to draw from the 2 minute piece. Sam showed anger through his body, keeping his shoulders tense and arms and hands would often be intensively shaking. Jonothon showed his fearfulness by enclosing his body within himself, be brought his shoulders close to his chest. Emotion memory is when you can link a personal issue or event in your life and how you felt about that issue, to your characters event or issue with those same emotions/feelings.
ReplyDeleteIn Yvette and Greg's duologue, the decided to use Chekhov as the practitioner they would base their performance on. Admittedly Chekhov is a practitioner I haven't closely looked at, so learning about atmosphere was interesting for me. Yvette and Greg showed an intense change in atmosphere I felt, at the beginning with the silence it made me as an audience member sit back and wonder about what had happened before that particular scene. Once Yvette's character started to question and investigate Greg's character, the atmosphere changed to very tense and j noticed I sat forward as I was so engaged into what was about to happen or be said.
