Blog 22: Senior Project Reflection
(1) Positive Statement
What are you most proud of in your Block Presentation and/or your senior project? Why?
What I am most proud about my presentation is that I was able to engaged the the whole class about my passionate of theater acting. It was actually one of my most proud moments of being a performer and how it help me to grow into a better actor that I am today. Reason why is because ever since we started to prepare for our presentation, I was actually looking forward to it. I didn't thought the presentation as a normal presentation but as a my final performance as an actor I wanted to make sure that this will be my greatest performance hear in I-poly and leave a huge impact to the class. I am just proud of doing this presentation and I will sure miss everything hearer in I-poly when I go to college and I-poly will always be in my heart.
(2) Questions to Consider
a. What assessment would you give yourself on your Block Presentation (self-assessment)?
AE P AP CR NC
b. What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)?
AE P AP CR NC
(3) What worked for you in your senior project?
What really work for me for senior project was my independent components 1 and 2. When I was performing both of my component, it allow me to experience of preforming to a live audience and see what is significant of being an actor. In my first one, it help be to discover what is important of being an actor and that is to engage the audience, which help me to formulate my EQ which is "What technique or method can an actor best use to engage the audience's attention?" My Second one allow me to test one my three answer when I was competing in an acting competition In Fullerton College
(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would have you done differently to improve your senior project if you could go back in time?
Well there isn't really anything bad happen to me during my project, but for small things, I will have to say the ESA component. I had a hard time of fining statistic of theatre acting of technique or method uses in theatre. If I have gone to a different root of theatre for statistic, I would of found better statistic that will support one of my answers.
(5) Finding Value
How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors? Be specific and use examples.
Thanks to my Senior project, it allowed to to found better and quality source for my college classes in the future and be able to significant amount of work that most senior in other school only foo a little. It also help me to beginning to pursuit acting as a side thing during my college years but it to me more interested to know theatre in general liking directing, light tech and so much more. Not only that, it allow me to be more expressive and open up to the whole class like I did in the bully presentation and will help in the future to be open up top others and be passionate in my future presentation in college.

Blog 21: Mentorship
Content:
How my mentorship helped me answer my EQ was that I get to see actors practicing in a different point of view. When I practice in my role in drama, I never really see my self practicing and seeing ways of how I engage the audience. But thanks to my Mentorship, I got to see form a different actor's point of view in their own practice of their role on stage. I see then working their proper blocking a lot as a team with my mentor and seeing who the interpret their own style as a character, whether its using their own personal memories or coming up there own interpenetration from different actors. Thanks to my mentorship, it not only help me formulate my three answer, but it help me track down the best answer. During mentorshp, My mentor gave me an example of an actor name Daniel Day-Lewis who use Stanislavski method of emotion memories to become the character of Abraham Lincoln in the 2012 film "Lincoln" and was stuck as that character for six months. I also heard from other actors like Lisa Lanier who told me about there experience with that tool. Thank to my mentorship, it help go deeper in that took and gave me enoguh info for my answer to be the best answer for my EQ.

What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?
The most important thing that i gain from my experience is seeing what is like working in a real life professional theatre. So far in my life,I have only work in theatre in school play since I was in sixth grade but thank to mentorship, I got to experience whats like to work in a full time theater with people who have years in experience of theatre work. I have to work in long hours of helping the back stage team while watching actor practicing with the directors and the producers. I get to see what type of actors will my mentor needs in the play and see which one of them is qualify for the role and is available for rehearsals for the next two months. And for the rest of the hours, I have been going to almost every single rehearsals for more than two months watching the actors rehearsal for the play and seeing my mentor working with them to help them do better. Not only that, I also been helping my mentor to build the sets for the play and get to work a little bit on the stage lights. it actually a cool experience of actually working with not just with actors, but with rest of team who work really hard to get ready for the play on December. Even though I have experience this before, since I'm an actor for drama team at school, I get see a new view of actors who work so hard with my mentor, the stage crew and help one another and I have fun with it.
