An Echo in the Bone: Reading vs Acting
Becoming the Character
My experience today in acting out the first scenes of the play helped significantly in my understanding of its story line and cultural concept. Acting out the play as opposed to reading it, gave me a better perspective of the characters and the action that was taking place. Being immersed in and having to take on the persona of a character through the play allowed me to truly experience the character and their individual situation in the play.
Stage Directions and Working with Others
Acting out the stage directions when contrasted with reading the stage directions, gave me a tangible experience of the scene and layout of the play. The stage directions that guided what I was to act and how to act it, made me understand the character's personality better and how they react to other characters. Also, working with the other students who played the other roles gave an idea of how the other characters personalities would be like.
