Journal for May 23 -- Emotional Truth

 Drama 8:

How do you think the world was created?  Could you make a play about it?  If not, why not?  If you could, what would you do?

Who are you playing in the Creation of the World?  What should your character look like?  (You can draw it.)

Draw a simple picture of a face that is angry, then another face that is sad, then another face that is scared.  (Label them.)

Drama 9:

What makes you angry?  Have you ever been so mad that you felt like you could hit someone?  Describe how you felt (like the sensations you experienced).  Did you actually have a physical fight?  If you did, what did that feel like?  (You felt satisfied, or disappointed in yourself, or you got beaten up and were hurt.) If you didn't, what stopped you from lashing out?

(Actors use a technique called "emotional memory" where the actor remembers how they felt in certain circumstances (like being very angry) in order to make their performance believable.)
