City lights: I fall in love with city lights all the time especially at night. Similar to the bright and colourful lights shining upon the different glass buildings, I find that stage lights have the same effect on me. Like a moth, I seem to zone out while looking into the light(s). I love the way that my eyes glaze over and I seem to daze off into my imaginations. It also helps me remember my lines when I look up into the lights on stage, I'm not sure why though.
Good Soul Of Szechuan: This was the first play where I felt truly free on stage. I think that this was the first play where I started out method acting as well. Method acting to me seems to be the only acting that can help the actor make it seem realistic for the audience. Believing that the things your character is going through is real, you yourself are forced to think like your character does on stage. To me, that's a beautiful thing.
Stage: I look at the stage as being a big blank canvas (even with the set pieces on it). It's a small piece of imagination that humans have put together, through the vision and creativity of the many involved with a production. Something that I've always loved about theatre and film, is that it's a piece of imagination. Scientists can't see into your dreams, or your creative mind but through theatre/film, you can.
Andong: I went to Andong along with my theatre class in order to see 'Talchum.' A traditional Korean form of Mask Dancing originating from ancient times.
It was here where I found myself falling in love with the nature around me. I'm not a flower type of person, but if I've ever felt close to nature, it was here. Along with the dancing, I felt at peace with myself. The music that went along with the nature and dance that I was seeing and feeling around me made this an unforgettable experience.
The Last Days Of Judas Iscariot: First production that had an actual emotional effect on me. It was from this play where I realised that theatre had a lot to offer. Much more than what I initially thought. There was a moment in this play where the whole cast had cried together at a certain scene. This was the scene where Jesus (my character) was trying to get Judas to accept his love again, thus ending his time suffering. It was the first time I ever saw a cast get so emotionally attached into the production that they themselves were involved in. This was a remarkable yet unsettling experience further making me question the things that art has to offer within human life.
