On Thursday we had a workshop with ArtsEd, we didn't do a lot of practical but I enjoyed what we did. We started with the usual artsed warm up "hey my name is joe..." I really love that warm up, because it's so fun I think it gives you a lot of energy. Afterwards we walked around the room and started creating a character from a different walk. What I found especially interesting about that exercise is when we make the character talk. When we just walk around, I personally, started to think about what that person was like, what they'd eat, think, do, etc. but then when we started making them talk I discovered a whole new side of them, I didn't think about what their voice would sound like, what they'd say, how they'd say it, it just came out naturally and it fitted the character but also made them brand new which was really interesting.
Afterwards we watched artsed promo DVD and had a chat with the head of acting. ArtsEd sounds like a really great place and I'd love to go there. I think it something that suits me way more than East 15 for example, I have no doubt East 15 is a great place to be but I think isn't for me.
