Acting and Improv

Tonight at theater project we read some plays. I saw the importance of using the right emotions when doing a particular piece. It can be excitement, fear, resignation, anticipation. I see what actors do to prepare for what they do. I would have become a stage actor if I had my druthers.

You have to study line by line. There's lots of practice involved. Acting is a craft not easily mastered. Improv has helped me understand what it is to let myself go; something that is not always easy for me personally. I'm getting better at it though.  

Wrote A Play

Late last night I wrote a play about two people coming to terms in their relationship after the male partner transitions into a woman. It was by far the easiest play I've ever written. I don't have a title for it as yet (I'm lousy at choosing a title). 

I'm finding that I really enjoy play writing. I've wanted to do in the past, having taken a stab at writing a couple of plays. What I'm discovering is that developing characters is not easy. What makes a good character is creating someone you can relate to or is believable. This is a reason I love the stage. If I was an actor I would act in plays.
