     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.

     How has what you’ve done helped you to answer your EQ?  Please explain.

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.
