"Come on, everyone spread out and keep a distance of two meters."
"Lie on the ground, close your eyes, and listen to my guidance."
"First lesson, let's learn to relax."
Everyone lay down and began to relax their bodies with Han Xuefei's guidance. Unlike Liu Tianyi, this time they used the puppet relaxation method.
Su Ze closed his eyes and imagined that his body had become a big puppet. His hands were loosely tied to his wrists, his forearms were loosely tied to his upper arms, and his upper arms were tied to his shoulders.
The feet, calves and thighs are also connected by a thread, and the neck is also a soft thread. The thread controlling the jaw and lips relaxes, allowing the lower jaw to be pulled weakly on the chest.
The thin threads connecting various parts of the body are loose and soft, and the whole body lies loosely on the ground.
Su Ze looked around and found that all the students quickly entered a state of relaxation. Should they all have studied for the art exam training?
Han Xuefei began to check, squatting down and touching the students' bodies with her hands from time to time, indicating that they should continue to relax. When everyone was satisfied, she clapped her hands and said, "Okay, sit up."
"It seems that you have all learned to relax, not just the puppet control method, but also many other things that actors can use, such as meditation or even yoga."
"Everyone needs to find the method that suits them best through exploration. Only when actors fully relax can they further open up their inner world and deeply understand the emotions of the character."
"A good actor should study his body and know what he looks like every minute?"
"You should be good at understanding yourself in space, and every action should be strictly calculated. If you see a person fall, you should know why he fell?"
After speaking, he opened the big screen, displayed the courseware and said: "Today we will start learning Meyerhold's most important theoretical organic modeling technique."
Human propulsive movements: movements of a single organ, including muscle tremors or nerve distribution, eye movements, human hands and feet, and expressions of individual muscle groups.
The comprehensive movement or series of actions of the entire body, moving, walking, running, reading behavior, writing, carrying heavy objects, constitute a complex movement of some kind of work.
Restrained behavior that loses external impetus or only gives impetus to a small extent.
Receptors, conductors, effectors... the study of reaction mechanisms of the nervous system... psychological reactions as objects of natural science.
Reflexes and their connections, connections, interdependencies... the normalization of physiology and reflexes... the stimulating influence of the voice...
Various theories emerge in endlessly, and the names are exciting!
As expected of a Chinese opera, this idea flashed through my mind. Compared to the system, which does things directly without saying a word, theoretical accumulation is the shortcoming it lacks the most.
"Maybe you haven't heard of Meyerhold, right?"
"In my opinion, he is one of the neglected geniuses of the last century!" Han Xuefei briefly presented the introduction and explained: "His theory believes that the essence of drama is the actor's performance art, and performance is the externalization of the actor's inner character.
"
"Because the body is the most expressive stage element, the body must be rigorously trained to give it the ability to shape, rhythm and improvise, so that it can be experienced naturally in the movements."
"This is called from the outside in!"
Su Ze's eyes lit up, it made sense!
Heroes think alike.
"Any psychological state is restricted by certain physiological processes. As long as an actor finds the correct way to solve his physical state and enters the situation at the same time, he can infect the audience and make them feel as if they are on the scene."
"In the past, our jargon was called "catching people." It firmly grabbed the audience's attention, and every move could affect their emotions.
Han Xuefei felt the warm gazes from the students and said with a smile: "This is a very advanced level. The only way to achieve this state is in humanities and Chinese language. You are far behind."
Everyone burst into laughter, and the classroom atmosphere was relaxed and natural. Su Ze discovered that Meyerhold's requirements for actors were completely different from Stanislavsky's.
It requires a training process from the outside to the inside, that is, the actor's inner experience is accumulated from countless external body movements, and finally the performance transition is naturally achieved.
Play a leading role outside here and be in a dominant position.
Thinking back to the micro-expression and non-physical training during this period, I suddenly realized that those exciting light spots produced by a series of body postures or movements are the key to improving acting skills?
For ordinary people, actions are actions and emotions are emotions, or are they unable to detect the subtle connection between actions and emotions?
The reason why an actor performs is to grasp the wonderful collision point between action and emotion!
I suddenly became enlightened and had a feeling of enlightenment. A lot of systematic training seemed to have dug a ditch. Now the theory is like clear water and it will fall into place immediately.
"You must have heard of Meng Jinghui, right?" Han Xuefei explained: "He thinks Meyerhold is a very good drama director, and I particularly admire organic plastic surgery."
"The requirements for actors are also very strict, and they even think that every action of the actor must be accurately positioned. I once participated in his own drama performance workshop, and I was very impressed by it."
After speaking, he looked at Su Ze and said, "Everyone has seen Su Ze's mime. Isn't it amazing?"
"Su Ze, come up!"
Su Ze stood up and walked onto the stage. Han Xuefei asked, "Tell me what you think."
Feeling the attention of the crowd, Su Ze said seriously: "I very much agree with Meyerhold, especially the training methods. It can be said that I am just a mime who has studied little by little."
"We all like to say that the experience school is great, and we all praise being able to enter the scene in one second. This kind of state is not impossible, but how many actors can achieve it?"
"In my opinion, acting is not something mysterious and unattainable. It is as simple and simple as eating and drinking. Ordinary people act every day, but they are just playing themselves."
"Well said!" Han Xuefei applauded and agreed: "This is also the meaning of the existence of Chinese Opera. Acting skills are not unattainable. Why can we actors perform on stage or in front of the camera?"
"It's because of hard training!"
After speaking, he looked at Su Ze and said with a smile: "Do you still remember the suitcase you performed three times? Many students have not seen it. Do you want to do it again live?"
Before Su Ze could react, Zhang Yu immediately shouted: "Yes, I got goosebumps when I saw it!"
Everyone was instantly excited. The umbrella Su Ze performed last time was unforgettable. So there are others?
Su Ze was speechless, isn't this your class, Teacher Han?
Why is it me again who rushes the ducks to the shelves?
