Acting Week 8 - Life is a Dream
Today we acted out a scene from “Life is a Dream” by Pedro Calderon de la Barca. I played Segismundo, the maniacal son of King Basilo. Opposite me is Thiago - who is really good as an actor.
We ran the scene once reading dialogue, once acting out drama silently, and once summarizing the scene. The non-verbal part was the hardest because this scene doesnt really have much action but is a lot of dramatic speeches. It will be tricky to do this without making it seem melodramatic.
