Method Acting

When the idea of becoming a different person with different characteristic and nuances was brought up in class, I was very excited. I first thought of being a pregnant girl or a prostitute. Both seemed exciting but with further consideration, I have come to the realization that those wouldn’t work.

So I have come to the conclusion of being a drug addict. I want to go to three major malls and dress like an addict and watch the response that I get. My hair will be messy, I will dress in dirty cloths and I will just look poor and uneducated.

The reason I chose the mall was because I think that I will get a very good response. Imagine if I walk into The Gap or any other high end store looking like an addict. I want to feel out of place and I want to experience the dirty looks and being kicked out of stores.

This character is a big stretch for me as a person because I do not like to be stared at or stereotyped. I like to carry my self very highly and I never walk out of my house without dressing my best.

So I am scared and excited, I know that this experience will prepare me to go further and learn more about method acting. I will also be able to have first hand experience with being an outcast. This is going to be awesome.
