Learning To ACT

Own Text: 
If things start happening don't worry, don't stew, just go right along and you'll start happening too.

Group Text:
Rumour is a pipe, Blown by surmises, jealousies, conjectures, And of so easy and so plain a stop That the blunt monster with uncounted heads, The still-discordant wav'ring multitude, Can play upon it

Group Song:
Hakuna Matata

Own Song
To be Confirmed..

Level 3 - What is my Kaupapa

Hello, 
My name is Hannah-Mae and I am a level 3 photography student in 2020. I was not in photography last year as it clashed with the other subjects that I was taking. But this year I am choosing to work through and study Environmental Protection. I am working on this because I have very strong ties with the land and I really enjoy working and being outside.

My two brainstorms have revealed that there are many environmental issues that do not get addressed as much as they should
Environmental Protection: 
Pollution 
Deforestation 
Relationships to Animals
Farming effects
Cultural differences for protection
Colonization

Subject matter:
Landscapes
Animals
Trees
Contrast



After creating the mood board I learnt that I enjoy natural lighting in photos. I also enjoy photos that have contrast and abstract colour combinations.

The three artists that I have chosen are Ansel Adams (Traditional), Rinko Kawauchi (Contemporary), and Laurence Aberhart (Aotearoa).

I have chosen these three artists because they share a similar component with the land and the natural elements of it.

Viewpoints

What is Viewpointing?


The Viewpoints, adapted for stage acting by Anne Bogart, are an improvisational system that trains an actor to use their body in time and space to create meaning. They are points of awareness that a performer or creator has while working. They provide a vocabulary for thinking about and acting upon movement and gesture. You & your fellow actors will make offers, accept offers, extend moments (such as repeating a gesture or a shape) and advance the scene. It is through this improvisation that you will create dramatic meaning.


 Viewpoints of space cover things like
  • Spacial relationships
  • Architecture
  • Floor patterns 
Viewpoints of time

  • kinesthetic responses
  • Repetition
  • Duration
Viewpoints of the body
  • Shape
  • Gesture


What is Grit?
Grit is having the ability to keep trying and keep going. Being resilient and determined. not giving up because something isn't going the way you wanted.


Shape:
Today we learnt that it is important to use the space reguarding how we interact with people and the arcetecture.
