The Acting Workshop.

Hi! Today I would like to tell about artistic workshop that we had at the circus a few weeks ago. It was a big challenge for us but also an unforgettable and useful experience.  We had a four workshop classes with a professional acting teacher and a comedian from Los Angeles. His name is Stefan Haves. We did a lot of interesting acting tasks. Even warm up was unusual than the workshops that I have done previously. He taught us the basic of comedian school. We had to the four main tools in acting. They are body, voice, speech, and imagination. I and my coworkers did different tasks such as acting in a group, in pairs, and alone. I had to show different characters like being angry, in love, or happy. We also did an exercise where the person had to express different surroundings such as being cold or hot. In one of the exercises, we had to imagine ourselves being in the forest, looking for a gift. Once we found the gift, we had to show emotions that described what was inside the gift. The workshop lasted two hours for four days. After that I was very exhausted physically and emotionally. On top of that we had to do two shows every day.  I learned a lot. If circus would ever Stefan Haves again I would gladly participate in his workshop. I like that he is very professional in his field and he finds the best strengths in one person’s skills.
