Theater is not only about stage, performance, projecting yourself, script, acting, rules, characters, and stories, but theater is also a mother’s womb that bears revolutionary, hopeful, beautiful, and passionate lives. Many play directors, many actors, many actresses, many audiences have discovered other versions of themselves in theater. In my personal perspective, I see theater as my dreams, because in my dreams I could do everything and be anyone without giving excuses or worrying about other people’s thoughts and sights.
People have many ways to participate in theater and many ways to love theater. For example, being a technology group member or leader, performing as characters, being a director, or just watching. In my own perspective, performing is the most enjoyable part. While I am performing on stage, I could also get rid of the problems, concerns, work, and relationships outside of theater temporarily. Theater is a place for me to be “ healed” and to work hard at the same time. Not only to perform in theater, to watch and to participate in are also fabulous! For example, to watch a play people could be entertained by funny scenes and interesting plots, and some scenes can truly make the audience think really hard that they could have so much fun. Also, participation in theater like lighting crew is so important and cool because they are the ones who are in charge of the whole stage effect!
To talk about some aspects of theater that are valuable for performers to explore and think about, in my opinion, confidence, creativity, voice, eye movements, facial expression, imagination, posing, finding angles, different perspectives, and self-consciousness are really crucial to explore and practice. Based on my experience with the play the Caucasian Chalk Circle, my greatest challenge was to think about what are the characters really thinking. I was playing a couple different roles that were all truly different with the person that I really were at that time. Sometimes when I was supposed to say something that was opposite of what I had in my mind, but I did not do it properly that I looked like a crazy person. And I was frustrated too because whereas I practiced and failed so many times I still could not reach my goals. But it was fun and easy for me to be a totally opposite personality of myself because I did not have the courage and chance to do it in daily life, and I could just simply imitate someone whose personality has already been set in the play.
