Bipolar Emotions

Acting class was an interesting experience today. I realized that I can put a person to any situation. There's also a person that automatically comes up that can bring me to a certain emotion. I have that person that can listen to me talk for hours and it's cool when I was asked to do so because it seemed as though the words just rolled off my tongue. When I was talking to my partner, intending to use the feeling of wanting to apologize for something, I started speaking and all of a sudden it got awkward and that feeling of "well...I know what you're going to say" came up and i just thought...this is so weird. I have so many feeling that are just so unsettling, especially having to change during the coarse of a conversation. When i get myself worked up and angry, I want to stay angry. I want to finish the fight. But with this exercise it was a mixture of feelings having to changed. I almost liked it which is hard to admit because I'm knows as "loving to fight". It was actually a great feeling to go from screaming, to talking to your fragile grandma. It felt as though someone lifted a weight from off your chest. I would love to try this approach during an actual fight, obviously in a less obscure way but kind of switch opinions in the middle.

  1. What is really good here is that you're gliding from thing to thing, from moment to moment. To be able to get all angry is great. If you get stuck in that, then it is of limited use in an acting situation. That ability to flow is key. And how cool you have a grandma who loves to listen.
