Wow! Encore! Encore!
The production we have all been preparing for was finally carried out tonight. We just had barely two weeks to organize everything, and yet, the outcome appeared as if it has been arranged for a long time already. I am so pleased with what we have shown!
Theatre 131 (Beginning Acting) will always be one of my most appreciated experience in UP. It has taught me a lot of lessons from acting properly, to having appropriate attitude towards obtaining a career inside and even outside the theater. It has also given me a new set of friends I was able to deeply share the ‘real me’ with…even for just a short while.
I had been scolded by my professor many times during the rehearsals. He even called me ‘maarte’ for not going in front of the line in the curtain call, for I was shy enough to be so exposed. I cannot deny the fact that I felt bad whenever he made me think that acting is not for me. I had almost given up my passion in performing because of the teaching techniques he has been employing in our group. But I am sure that these were all for my benefit. He was trying to put me into the proper perspectives, for acting is not as easy as it may seem. It is, to quote Sir Dex, is not a fly-by-night thing. ‘True Acting’ is beyond performing on the stage or in front of the camera. It is thinking… No good actor is dull for he needs to be analytical in his every action thus, requiring apposite frame of mind.
Even if I was not able to spend my time for anything else aside from Theatre 131 for the past two weeks, I can say that it is worth it for we have produced something that we can all be proud of. Truthfully, performing in front of an audience is a privilege anyone will not forget.
