Ah.. well… it has come to the last days of the “Practical Aesthetics” class that is held at KLPAC conducted by David Lim. I have thoroughly enjoyed myself in the classes held over there and really experience is one thing, I am taking away with me, but more so I’m really happy to have met all the people in the class. New friends and new shared interest. That said, I won’t continue further till the class is really finished.
Anyways, purpose of the class was to either enhance or teach us another method of acting. Which required lots of THINKING! Wasn’t an easy class, I can actually say. At some points one can get really confused with the technique. Homework was also inevitable..lol… and we had to do scenes taken from either TV shows, films, or monologues. One of the scenes we ended up trying out was from friends and it was a real blast to do it.. haha… albeit a bit weird but really a lot of fun just practicing late at night with the gang and just trying out how to work round it.
Here are the two scenes we were trying.. and it really made me miss the series Friends a lot. I mean well they really grow on you. Even now I can still remember trailers from the show before it first started and it looked so cool…comfy and lighthearted- as how a bunch of friends should be. I suppose they had naturally good chemistry going on. Which I have also come to realize, is such an important factor for both actors to have the right chem. It’s not essential at the first go but it does make the work a lot easier. Imagine yourself having to act like best friends with a person you don’t really know.
Have fun with the scenes. This one is the very first episode of Friends in season 1.
And this is the other one from the scene where Monica gets stung by a jellyfish. season 4 episode 1.
You can really see how much not just the cast but also the writers have grown in their stories.
