Rain or Shine the Mail Always come Through

TOday in class we learned about object exercises, which are exercises that incorporate our physical environment in small pieces while we act so we can learn the specificity that comes with a character's environment. Today I presented my object exercise which was centered around a slice of my life, revealing who I am as an individual. I donned my everyday uniform as a mail character and then presented how I organize the mail in a particular situation.

I thought that I had messed up in sorting the mail yet the class claimed it made it more natural because in every day life mistakes happy. Little did I know that life is messy. I feel like sometimes we have the tendency to slip into the mode of thought where we believe that a performance, because it is a "performance". Yet a true performance reveals human nature and humans are rarely perfect, exception to Jesus. I find it really interesting that what I find to be good acting is being blown away. There is an almost simplicity and organic feeling to just being oneself in a situation that I actually find a particular bit of comfort in.
