Actually, Scottie, Cary's birth name was Archibald Leach. : O Thank God for Warner Brother's list of suggested names!
Anyway, I really got into it with my advanced acting teacher today. woo-whee! She pulled me into Van and Dani's office before class and talked about how she is perceiving a lack of interest in her class from me, and said that I am disruptive to other students when I laugh at inappropriate times (sorry if your excercises are stupid!), and I told her that I just find the sounds funny, and she said not to judge other people, and I was like, but I'm laughing at myself. And then she said not to judge myself (@#%^#$%&#?!?!?!?!?). I told her that I don't see the point in spending 30 minutes of every class period on breathing excercises (Personally, I'm a trained singer, which also means I'm a trained breather, and I realize that not everyone else in the class is, maybe like 2 people out of 7 really don't know). She then told me that her "ho-hummmmmmmmmmmmuh" excercises and other crap are part of acting and that I need to know them. I told her that it may be part of her method, but that it's sure not part of mine, but that I would try to open up to it for the purposes of her dumb class. (I didn't say dumb though)
She went on to say that I "think [I'm] perfect and think [I] know everything, but [I'm] not perfect and don't know everything. (!!!!!!!!!!!) I then told her that if her class weren't required for my performance concentration, I would drop it. I said that, for the purposes of my academic needs, I would submit to her "methods," but that it wasn't my cup of tea.
Who the blast is she to tell me that I think I'm perfect??? So I talked to Van about it, and talked to Dani as well. It turns out that the instructor is one of those hyper-sensitive, emotional, heart-on-the-sleeve types (Ugh) who desparately wants to feel valued and thinks that something's wrong if you don't call her just to say hi every other day. Can we say, "issues?" Oh geez. I don't like these types at all. Unfortunately, the theatre world is writhe with them, and I will have to get used to it. Let's just hope I can stand it. Thank goodness it's only monday and wednesday. |
