In regards to the Meisner work, I was pleased with the progress that I made personally. In real life, if someone insulted me, I almost always laughed it off and then got angry later. This bled over into my Meisner work and taught me that that is not the way to be in acting. It's uninteresting to the audience as well as boring to act. I have happily noticed that things in the exercises have begun to hit me more fully, thus making my reactions fuller. I know I still need to work on pushing my reactions even farther and allow some of my aggression out.
My scene corresponds perfectly to this skill. My character definitely has some major anger problems, and that just so happens to be exactly what I need to explore within myself. I think it will be easier now that I have the Meisner techniques "in my back pocket", as to say. I know if I let the circumstance, and my partner's lines to truly effect me, I'll be a raging ball o' terror in the scene.
Hope everyone's break is going well,
Bridget
