College Performance Class Experience 1

Our practical training class this semester is two weeks of drama performances. Before I knew it, the drama class ended quickly. Looking back on this class, I always have thousands of emotions. Although there are regrets about the performance, when I think about it now, I am still very excited, my heart is surging, and I am happy.

Through the study of drama, I realized that if music shakes the hearing, dance and art impact the vision, then drama is a comprehensive art form that integrates these three. Background music enhances the atmosphere, and special sound effects simulate real scenes; body movements and facial expressions depict specific stories; stage scenery echoes the psychology of the characters. "Synthesis" should be regarded as the essence of drama. Its biggest feature is that it can comprehensively and exaggeratedly use various methods to connect with reality and express themes. Narratives, flashbacks, and interludes are interlaced and performed like articles; one-man shows, crosstalk, singing and dancing, and all kinds of forms can be used, scene by scene, scene by scene. If you can pay attention to echoes, you can make the play feel colorful instead of confusing. It is said that drama is like life, probably because of this characteristic of drama, it makes it closer to people's lives and will be more widely accepted by the public.

There were seven major groups in the class participating in the performance, and the content of the drama arrangements was varied. Shakespeare once said that his works are to "hold a mirror up to nature, show one's own face to virtue, show one's own posture to absurdity, and show one's own image and mark to the times and society." This is indeed the case. Through participating in drama performances, I realized that drama can reflect social reality to a certain extent. For example, TheCollegeLife ("College Life") performed by the students showed an attitude of modern college students towards life and learning. There is also a real-life version of "Snow White and the Dwarfs" that seems to show the happy childhood time in front of our eyes when we read it. It also shows our carefree, innocent and happy childhood. Longing and nostalgia. There are also English versions of the sketches "Not Short of Money" and the English version of "Wulin Gaiden" which have brought us a lot of joy. Of course, I have to mention the most failed play we performed, "Yes Means No", which made my drama class full of regrets.

However, looking back on the enthusiastic preparation process of each group, I feel so warm and sweet. During the preparation process, we all gained a lot. First of all, we gained an in-depth understanding of the script, which gave us a better understanding of English-Chinese translation. Secondly, group rehearsals cultivated our teamwork spirit and mutual learning and communication. Then we use our spare time to get together to discuss and perform. Every rehearsal is a wonderful memory for us. During the rehearsal process, we guided and learned from each other, we loved each other, and we collaborated.

From selecting scripts, assigning roles, memorizing lines, rehearsing to the final performance, I felt that drama requires more cooperation between us, so unity and cooperation were achieved in our rehearsals Fully reflected, it also increased the friendship among students and exercised everyone's cooperation ability. The tacit cooperation, mutual understanding, and joint efforts among the classmates made me feel like home. It adds a lot of happiness and sweetness to the very tense atmosphere where we are preparing for the final exam.

Drama performances require verbal expression, and we all perform in English, so our spoken English has been exercised unconsciously. In addition, teachers and peers have commented and corrected our pronunciation. Our English pronunciation has improved a lot.

Happy time always flies by. Our practical training class is over. Everyone was still immersed in the joy of their successful performance, so they were very reluctant to leave. Because we gained so much from the drama performance class, we learned to analyze the plot and choose to rehearse, we corrected incorrect pronunciation, we felt the warm friendship, we felt the power of unity, and we also learned from the drama Seeing the impermanence of life also gives us the power to move forward.

I am very grateful to the teacher for accompanying us through this happy time and for his guidance.

University Performance Class Experience 2

I really gained a lot this semester. In fact, before writing, I carefully looked at my notes and recalled a lot of what I had learned. Things, we find that every exercise we do has its training purpose. If we think about it carefully, we will get a lot of things from each exercise, some, more, some, or less. I found that many things are subtle. A lot of times what I feel is a quality that makes a good actor.

After the semester, I found that performers need a good creative state! I think a good creative state should be like this:

(1) To be a qualified major, you need to transform yourself. Learn to transform yourself.

(2) Actors must learn to adjust their creations and not let external things affect their creations, so that they can focus.

(3) Must be lively and flexible, body and facial expressions.

(4) When we want to achieve a goal, a series of actions will occur

(5) Stage and life, the stage must be processed, but there must be cause and effect sequential.

(6) Actors on the stage must have a purpose and a task!

And I think the actor's self and the role are integrated, and the relationship between the actor and the role is. Repeatedly experience people's basic necessities, food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and every bit of memory in life. When encountering an incident, you must look back, think about it, and calm down. How many actions do we take to achieve a goal? You must be good at using props, dress yourself up, and choose props selectively. Get involved in the role without being affected.

I believe that the human body is controlled by thoughts and breathing. To control your body, you must first control your breathing and heart, among other things. I think the most important thing is to study the purpose of the actor's actions. What is the line of action? It starts from your own body and heart. As an actor, you must have your own line of action. According to the stimulation received by the body, from the body to the heart, the heart drives the breathing and body, and looks at the world and the world as a character. Character relationships. I think this point is very important. This sentence seemed to suddenly point me in the right direction. What is behind the character is the most important. It does not mean that the appearance cannot only be similar. You must understand the character from all aspects and control your mind and body. .

I try hard to make myself neutral, eliminate distracting thoughts and live in the present. I found that after several workshops, every teacher, artist and master who studies acting has the same thing, that is The expansion and release of attention, aura, and energy. This made me understand a lot. Actors cannot lie to their bodies and must live in the moment.

We have been emphasizing the control of the body, and found that we must constantly try to understand our body better, and see to what extent the body reaches what kind of reaction it brings to our emotions, and what kind of reaction it will have. What you bring yourself, preparation before making physical creations is essential.

1. The relaxation and tightening of the body affects every muscle in the body, including fingers, eyes...all the nerves are working and exerting force.

2. Be ready to make any action at any time, and can retract and release freely. If you focus. Creation, the creative process, never stops.

3. The limbs are in a relaxed state. The teacher has also emphasized that the relaxation of performers is different from the relaxation of ordinary people. Our state is like a balloon full of energy.

4. I think people or creators should maintain a neutral state before creating. I think this is conducive to creation. If not, you should also control your body.

5. During the creative process, keep the state unchanged and have no distracting thoughts.

6. Respect the contradictory language and physical actions given by your opponent. The performer is perceptual and the stimulation he feels through his eyes and body is immediately expressed through his body and language.

At this recent stage, the teacher also mentioned observing life. I remember once I went to observe two or three people from other places who came to Shanghai to collect rags. When I kept questioning them, I discovered that it turned out that observation Not just looking at their appearance, it turns out that there are many stories behind them. They also carry families, children, the elderly, etc. That day I suddenly understood or observed that life should be like this.

On the other hand, I will talk about how to process what I observe. After observing the characters, I feel that they should be carefully transformed and processed, and the time of the work should be tailored. We need to learn how to tailor. I have encountered some problems in restoring the characters to life while combining behaviors that highlight the character's personality. The actor class judges the character's heart through the character's appearance and movements, and finds highlights that can attract the audience and make the audience feel the same as you. feelings and reactions.

There should be selective observation and modification to make the work more dramatic and youthful. Try to imitate people whose personalities are different from your own, be careful in your actions, and be clear in your heart. We can feel the world through the character's heart, and we will get more in this way. Learn to delete, refine, and combine people's complex inner feelings (you must have inner understanding) (just like what is deep in my heart, what does this have to do with "me", this work must have a true understanding of what it has to do with "me", We must have a sense of life.

When we take action in life, we must have a purpose. I have a deep understanding of this aspect, because if there is no clear purpose on stage, what we usually do will happen. I was talking about the feeling of not being able to stand on the stage. Without a clear purpose, our action lines and movements were not obvious. I felt that I suddenly understood a lot. My actions must have a clear purpose.

The emotions and feelings of actors must be very clear and precise, such as (I love someone, how I feel, how much I love her). We must be precise about our feelings, try to ask ourselves, why do we do this, try Ask yourself. Give yourself a clear purpose, be precise about your emotions, and use the feeling of a certain part of the body to the environment to drive our whole body. I understood many things during class, and I may also suddenly understand when the teacher is commenting. Acquisition is obtained through the combination of practice and theory in class. I found that this is a way for me to improve myself. While I was thinking about my own problems, through the teacher’s professional language comments, I suddenly felt like I was enlightened. It feels very good. Rationality, I feel like I have solved this problem. I remember when I was doing exercises with Yuan Yuan, the teacher suddenly said that I use a lot of experience and my mind has always been thinking rationally. From then on, I seemed to be woken up by a stick.

In fact, I have been thinking about a problem during this time, which is that actors need a lot of rational thinking before creating, considering the role, the reasonableness of the actions, and the lines... But I personally think about this when I am performing. Like the person who suddenly found that he didn't dare to do anything too rationally, and found that he couldn't make any expressions on stage. There was always a third eye watching him, and he felt very uncomfortable, not knowing what movements and expressions he was doing. I'm very stiff at times, and I feel so terrible and uncomfortable on stage. I'm also looking for my own problem, and I think it's because I can't fully devote myself! This is a problem I encountered in the early stage. I found that I was slowly giving my intuition to my body, slowly observing what my opponent brought to me, and then reacting.

Acting training is a skill that actors need to understand. My purpose on the stage. I remember doing an exercise recently. I was sitting on the stage and another person came over to talk to me and get used to each other. However, I found that I couldn’t communicate with my opponent at all, and I didn’t feel any purpose or desire in my heart. It was uncomfortable to feel helpless and not know what to do. At the same time, it made me understand that it is very scary for an actor to have no purpose on stage. This made me understand a lot. The real skill is to think from the perspective of the character. The actor must. Have the ability to truly feel, have the desire to play the character, share the character's personality with the audience, understand the character's behavioral motivations, and express the character's emotions.

Speaking of this, talking about the opponent's problem, actually I am. I feel that my opponent can bring you everything you have on the stage. I have always wanted to get something from my opponent, but I found that everyone is very impatient. On the stage, they don’t really put their mind down and pay attention to their opponent. Pay attention to what the opponent brings to you, what you get from the opponent, what the opponent really brings to me, what I need from the opponent, what I want to get, etc. In the past few days of the exam, I gained a lot and discovered my shortcomings. I have been looking for a kind of intuition. In the last few days, I have been balancing intuition and rationality. I found that I can change, but I still have rationality. , I seem to have found my intuition in the last few classes. Sensual body, actors need this.

Experiences of University Performance Class 3

I don’t know since when, I developed the habit of writing a summary, a summary of college student performance classes. Speaking of acting classes, I took them for three whole years. It is our professional major course. Now that my acting classes have ended, there are no acting classes scheduled in my senior year. Since my freshman year, I have always had a question: We are studying broadcasting and hosting, why should we take acting classes? Now thinking about it, along the way, I finally answered the question in my mind. In the acting class, I learned a lot of. Let me talk about some of my feelings below:

The performance class in the first semester of my freshman year in 20__ mainly consisted of four parts of study. They are liberating nature, animal imitation, character imitation and observation of life sketches. To liberate our nature, the teacher would lead us to play some games. The most commonly played game at that time was the "killing game". It is mainly a training of reaction ability and observation ability. Until now, classmates in our class often get together to play "killing". Ha ha. In addition, during the daily exercises, students imitated animals such as penguins, kangaroos, cats, dogs, chickens, snakes, lions, ducks, frogs, etc. Characters imitated include rural girls, blind people, mental patients, thieves, nurses, etc. The teacher takes these four items as the content of the final exam. The animal imitation I made was a chicken, and the character imitation was a blind man. The sketch of observing life is "Three Pregnant Women" in collaboration with other students. Unfortunately, my scores in animal imitation and character imitation were not high at that time. Work Summary "Summary of Acting Classes for College Students". The score for the skit was okay. Although I have been trained to liberate my nature, I still feel like I can't let go, as if I'm being imprisoned by something.

The performance class in the second semester of 20__ mainly includes sketch training. At that time, our group rehearsed the sketch "Snowstorm and Fog", which was a response to the mining disaster. It seems that the score given by the teacher in the final exam was quite high.

The acting class in the first semester of my sophomore year in 20__ was training in sketch writing. During class, I also practiced different imaginations of the same things, and later it was improved to vivid practice of different imaginations of the same things. During the final exam, the teacher asked us to create our own sketch. At that time, our exam sketch was called "Recruitment" and was compiled by a senior who was one year above me. Now that senior is already working as an anchor on a TV station

In the acting class in the second semester of my sophomore year in 20__, we rehearsed Gao Xingjian's "Station".

The acting class in the first semester of my junior year in 20__ was a film and television stage play performance. There was a new acting teacher. The new acting teacher had just graduated from Shanghai Theater Academy. Our classmates all like her. During class, I usually practice musical elements and perform some improvisations. They also rehearsed "Xu Mao and His Daughters in the Mist", "Four Generations Under One Roof", "Chameleon", "The Gift of the Magi", etc. Learned a lot about mise-en-scène.

In the second semester of my junior year in 20__, I did a lot of exercises on capturing emotions. Gradually I got used to the camera. In the last few weeks, I rehearsed "Late", "Borrowing Money" and "Replacement". I gained a preliminary understanding of film shooting and became addicted to being an actor. Also learned video editing software. It feels particularly fulfilling when I stitch together the fragmented pieces to form a complete video short play.

We have been taking acting classes for three years and were taught by two acting teachers. The first teacher was sometimes very fierce, and the classmates in our class didn't understand him very well, including me. Sometimes we felt that the acting class was extremely long. Later, in a "Basics of Broadcasting Creation" class, our classmate interviewed him, and I began to understand him from that time. He said something to us that I always remember: "Respect your seniors and seniors no matter what their majors are. After all, they are your seniors and you can learn from them." A lot." Later, when I was in my junior year, Teacher Lu came to teach us. He had just graduated from the Shanghai Theater Academy when he came to teach us. I felt very happy to be able to study with such an excellent teacher. Our classmates all like her. Soon, she will become a mother, and her baby will probably be a Leo! It’s really hard, and she has to rehearse for us.

The acting class has ended. I have learned a lot from two acting teachers in the past three years.

I must continue to work hard in my future professional studies!

University Performance Class Experience 4

Time flies, and the semester of 10 years is over in a blink of an eye. This semester is very important to me. It was very fulfilling. In addition to learning a lot in professional knowledge, more importantly, I also gained a lot of new insights in all aspects, especially in life.

At the beginning of this semester, from the initial communication exercises, rhythm exercises, simulated animals and a series of liberating nature training, to the simulated character exercises and observation of character exercises, I personally summarized the following aspects in my study My experience and experience:

1. Starting from poor pure language performance

In the initial practice, I felt that my reaction ability and adaptability were pretty good, but most of the They all rely on words to express their thoughts, and do not feel it from specific body movements. They use their own imagination to perform simple performance exercises. What you see in a performance and what an actor performs are often improvised, the most natural and intuitive reflection. Therefore, during the small exercises in each acting class, you often pay attention to the following points: Don't deliberately set yourself and yourself. The other party’s actions; don’t dictate the other party’s words (not everyone’s thinking mode is the same); give the other party a strong stimulus so that you can get corresponding rewards (good communication will help the performance continue); in conceiving When practicing, don’t overspecify the plot. (This is easy to stereotype, is not conducive to the use of actors' imagination, and hinders the actors' room for improvisation); it is necessary to clarify the tasks after entering the stage, do not use too many words, and use your heart and body movements to feel the character scene you have created. Subtle changes in performance; do not use performances to explain prescribed scenes, and do not use titles to explain the relationship between characters.

Everything in the universe is a natural mechanism. The stronger the concept of performance and the stronger the subjective consciousness, the easier it is to hinder this mechanism. Learn to reduce the burden on your mind, reduce it to zero, let go of your body and mind, and the mechanism will start by itself. Just full. --This is what the teacher said to me in the performance notes. Now that I read this sentence, I can understand its meaning better, because through this semester of performance study, I have experienced the substantial meaning of this sentence in practice.

2. The unity of lines and body

The lack of rich body language is a major obstacle to my performance. The lack of coordinated body language makes my performance monotonous and inconsistent. Accurate, unnatural. I think a good actor must not only express his lines accurately, but also be unified with his body, otherwise it will be difficult to vividly reflect the strength and purpose of his lines.

Everyone has different thoughts and understandings at each stage. Now looking back at my previous performance notes and the problems I discovered before, I have a deeper understanding and further understanding.

From the training of liberating my nature to the training of simulating people and observing people, I changed from a nominal team leader who didn’t know how to work to a responsible team leader who knows how to make plans and rules. The training I got You can't get it from any book or teaching.

In performance practice, some necessary communication without an object is often much more difficult than communication between two people with an object, because the attention cannot stay on one person, and the attention must be concentrated and undistracted, and the rhythm must be clear. But it can’t be chaotic. Everyone must communicate with each other. In the previous stage of observing the character clips, I did a lot of exercises in communicating with no objects. At the time, I thought it was difficult to master, but I didn’t think it was that difficult. Although many points were still relatively difficult. It's a bit rough in detail, but everything still relies on improvisation and my own sense of belief and I can adapt to changes, so everything is quite natural.

First of all, I paid too much attention to the role of the character I played, instead of focusing on the performance; secondly, I did not deeply understand and explore the soul of the character I played, so I once couldn’t find the soul in the performance. to the correct state; again, the character of the character I played was not clear, and the action clues on the stage were not clear, so that the purpose of each line I spoke was not clear. Coupled with the lack of clear rhythm and too little consideration, the characters I created had no personality and sense of uniqueness. This once made me feel distressed. However, after every return to class, after the teacher’s careful and patient comments and adjustments, I seemed to have regained my character. There is hope and a direction.

Third, pay attention to the details of life anytime and anywhere

After the first semester of my freshman year, I feel that in addition to the newly learned knowledge and small progress, there are more You still need to summarize yourself and find the direction you need to progress in the next step and the goals you want to pursue. During the holidays, I need to be more in-depth with my life and practice my lines to improve my professional level. I must keep exercising. I can practice monologues and vocals, so as not to waste the long winter vacation. Recharge during the holidays to prepare for new tasks in the new semester. In addition, under the guidance of the teacher, what I have gained is that my self-cultivation has improved significantly. I can tolerate three points and withdraw three points. Although sometimes I still have small impulses and short tempers, I am confident that one day I will completely improve. There is also the attitude and discipline in doing things. Without rules, there will be no success. I feel that I have changed a lot in how I deal with people. I have changed from being impatient to being calm, from not listening to others to listening to other people’s information and combining it with my own opinions. These are all helpful for my daily work and study.

I believe that I will perform better next semester, and I am also ready to face more difficult tests and challenges.

5 Experiences from University Acting Classes

A semester has passed by in a hurry, and the activities of the drama club have also come to an end for the time being. Looking back on the past, we went to watch drama performances together and felt the acting skills of the big guys. Impromptu performances in the Toshi Hall or arranging a complete paragraph. From these activities, our interest in dialogue drama was stimulated, and at the same time, our ability to perform on the spot was improved. Every activity of the drama club is interesting and meaningful. Through each improvisation and stage performance, I have developed my adaptability and improved my performance ability. I learned some acting knowledge and skills in the drama club and am very satisfied with the club activities this semester. The drama club is undoubtedly a warm place where people with the same love for drama come together and interpret their love for performance in different ways.

In the last semester of my first year of high school, I chose the drama club among the countless clubs in the Second Affiliated Middle School. I was first attracted by the new posters. The drama club did not use colorful posters like other clubs, but chose a retro style. . This semester, the first-year students learned a lot of acting skills from the drama club and the president and the seniors from the second-year high school. Usually they perform in groups, one group performs, and the rest act as the audience. After the performance, they express their opinions and exchange opinions. After performing many plays, we learned how to adapt to changing circumstances. The plot should not be too jumpy. It must have a central idea and express it clearly. Only one person can speak on the stage... We also discussed the script. The reversal is very beautiful. The finishing touch, but if used improperly, it will be a disaster. Logical and reasonable reversal of surprise is the basis of a good drama. Although there were no good works this semester, I still gained a lot. A drama club performance once a week brings me a lot of joy. Performing on stage gradually became more and more familiar. From the beginning I was so nervous that I didn't say a word, to the end I learned to compete with my seniors for the scene. It truly leaves everyone with unforgettable memories.

Daily club activities can be summarized as improvisational performances and scripted non-improvisational performances. The training that improvisation brings to us is mainly reflected in our ability to adapt to artistic performances and our confidence in not having stage fright. It is said that art is interlinked. Improvisation must be similar to speech in a certain sense. At the same time, it is superior in the suddenness and variability of situation changes... However, everyone in the club is not an ordinary person. , after this scene is put together, no matter whether it is performed well or not, there is still something to gain. As for dramas with scripts, it seems to be the most troublesome and difficult to perform. In general, every activity improves the students' ability and relaxes the students at the same time. For example, improvisational drama: From the perspective of improving quality, improvisational drama can very well exercise our thinking ability (compose a reasonable script in a short period of time, and have each actor compose lines that match the character's emotions) and adaptability. (Handling accidents) as well as teamwork skills (everyone cooperates with each other), communication skills, imagination, etc., so joining a club can effectively improve your own abilities, which is a very meaningful thing.
