第6堂课 Lesson 6 － Image theatre

他／她真的是这样的人还是.....？

这个星期我们主要做的是character work! 要能够诠释一个人物就得先了解那个人物。这得从分析剧本开始。读完了剧本我们可能很轻易地对人物进行价值判断，觉得他/她怎样怎样....但那个人物真的是这样吗？因为我们很可能在剧本中看到别的人物与自己所饰演的人物的对话和相处所以有时候会不经意地将别人对他/她的看法等同于那个人物的个性。如果是这样，我们所饰演的人物就找不到自己了。所以要了解自己所饰演的人物可以先做几个重要的功课。

做出人物的Biodata！我们得从剧本里找出人物的资料而不是凭空想像 =) 

海彬和健僮将剧本找到的资料记录下来

海彬和健僮：“父亲没有工作...酗酒...他和妻子还有一个女儿一起住.......

有了基本资料我们才能进一步问自己几个问题：
1. 人物怎么看待自己，他/她对自己得想法。这个问题看起来简单但人物对自己的看法和别人对他/她的看法之间的一条线其实是很模糊的。
2. 人物对他/她身边的人的想法，觉得他们怎么样？
3. 剧中的其他人物怎么看待看待我们所饰演的人物？

关于母亲...母亲觉得女儿怎么样？

母亲觉得丈夫怎么样？
我们都是“跟踪狂”？！！
做完这些功课之后，我们便走到街上当“跟踪狂”！没有啦，其实我们是到大街上去寻找我们饰演的人物，观察我们生活中的人物。通过我们对剧中人物的初步了解去寻找接近这个人物的形像。可以是一个人的发型，衣服又或是一个人吃饭，走路或讲话的样子。看到适合的人我们便拍下照片=) 这些照片只共我们自己参考，纯属教育用途，在这里就不公开了！不过大家不妨多观察周围的人事物，你会发现很多有趣的事哦=)

如果生活也是剧本...
其实面对生活中的人，我们也常轻易地对号入座，把别人对另一个人的想法误看成那个人就是那样，缺少了对那个人的理解。或许把生活当成剧本，在尝试了解自己的当而也试着更用心去认识身边的人吧！

We did character work this week! I was rather inspired by the whole session, partly because I had never do my character in such a detailed way. I did my script analysis and thought that I understand the character. In fact, my analysis may have been blurred by a line -- what does the character thinks of himself/herself and what do the other characters think of him/her. 

It is important to break down our understanding of a character through different perspective. From the character's point of view, from other characters' point of view and not forgetting his/her relationship with the other characters, how does he/she think of these characters?

Heng Leun brought up some interesting questions: Is there an animal that can represent your character? If so, what is the animal? What is the centre of energy of the character? What is the superobjective of the character?

 It is not surprising to know that human does share some traits that are very much the same as animals. But what is the centre of energy? Well, you can go out on the streets and observe people. Take note of how they walk.. some people have tense shoulder while some slant their body to one side as they work. Which part of the body "leads" them when they walk? You can try to find out for yourself =) That's what we did during lesson too! Xuemei, weiting and I will be playing the same character hence we were in a group during activities. We went to the OG in Chinatown, somewhere near market and the pearl centre. Haha we walk around like some stalker, took photos and had a lot of fun observing the people around us. 

In fact, I feel that character work does not limit to actors who need to understand character in the script. It applies to life... Have you ever observe your parents closely? Do you remember how they walk, how they talk, how they eat? What do they always wear? What is kept in their wallet? Is it messy with tons of receipts of neatly organized with all the different credit cards? I guess acting is not something that can be done in a vacuum. We need to understand life, at least life around us before we can understand characters in a script. Do you understand people around you? Perhaps you can try it from today =)
