@Fresh Turkey The award itself might not be much but it can have a big effect on an actor's career. She will probably receive more scripts for potential roles, giving her greater choice in her future projects. She will also be able to ask for a higher payment for those projects.
@@KristinDeGroot I love that moment because a lot of times it is true: hippie-types being just as intolerant of others as the ones they complain about.
@@larrote6467 as Mark says, "if there's no place here for people who stand against everything you believe in, what sort of hippie free for all is this?"
They made us do ''drama'' when I was in school up until the age of 14 for reasons I cannot understand. This is pretty accurate. It's actually pretty scary being forced to try and act when you really don't like doing it lol, in England there is something of a theatric tradition so everyone is forced to do it.
WATCH! AS I TAKE THE KEY THAT UNLOCKS THE DOOR TO MY WORLD OF MIME! SEE AS I PICK UP THE CUBE THAT IS THE BAR THAT BECOMES THE ROPE WHICH I PULL AGAINST THE WIND THAT SNAPS ONTO THE CONVEYOR BELT WHICH LEADS TO THE SHRINKING ROOM. Excellent rhythm Phillip yes well done.
my experience looking back on GSCE drama is that it wasn't the "physical theatre" and "creative exercises" that annoyed me most, but people like Phil who where completely unable to act in any way, non-naturalistic Brechtian stuff included. because I had a special educational needs statement the bloody teacher kept putting me in the group with these other kids of a completely different (lower) level.
@@hamishwhitehenderson5197 God. Yes. I used to get lumped with people like that too cos I wasn't in the "in crowd". Being stuck with them for an entire term too because that's how long the module lasted.... -shudder-
I once did a drama workshop where we were asked to mime the 'time we popped our cherry'. I had never heard this term before; my performance involved climbing an imaginary ladder to the top of a tree and some slapstick nonsense with me tripping over a bucket.
"it requires lighting fast reactions, you know the kind of reactions i'm talking about?" ....*long pause*.... "you're talking about lighting fast reactions Simon"
WATCH as I take the KEY that UNLOCKS the DOOR to my WORLD of MIME! SEE as I pick up the CUBE that is the BAR that becomes the ROPE which I PULL against the WIND but SNAPS onto the CONVEYOR BELT that leads to the SHRINKING ROOM!
5:19 "Woah baby, I'm t'inkin' about your chocolate, Debomba woah whey. Woah baby, I'm t'inkin' about your taste, Debomba woah whey. Woah baby, I'm t'inkin' about your chocolate, t'inkin' about your taste, Woah omba whey whey, oooh."
Hey! For years I loved their twin sketches of A Bigger Spoon and I Don't Know What You Want Anymore, and I was always hoping to discover a third sketch with a similar theme of someone not understanding what is required of them to complete a sort of a Triumvirate of Cognitive Disconnect. And I think that this is the kind of thing I meant!
I remember going to see their stage show years ago and Robert did the mime part randomly at one point, but I’d never seen the actual sketch that was from until now.
Filming Marathon man Dustin Hoffman stayed up for three days before playing his character who had not slept for 3 days. When he told Laurence Olivier this Laurence replied smoothly “My dear boy, why don’t you just try acting?”
How I hated this kind of bull. I remember once having to play a game where you stood in a line, passed a ball through the line to the last person, who would then run to the front and start the whole thing off again until everyone had been at the front. We were then asked how it had made us feel (I felt like I'd just wasted five minutes of my life) and someone said 'It was a bit like a story, with a beginning, middle and an end.' WHAT???
And it might be true. BUT how does it help deliver the play (something like the intent of the author) to the audience - which is the SOLE GOAL of the actor.
The first scene had great acting through tone and body language - Mitchell's character tries to stay professional and patient but you can hear the strain in his voice start to creep in at 1:05, and he then purses his lips and puffs his cheeks every time he claps. Webb copies the little knee bob as he earnestly does the double clap. I'd like to see the bloopers after that one.
I remember bobby mcferrins original and the tv ad for cadburys with body substituted for chocolate . This is the best version and in no way offensive to anybody
Oh thank God I hadn't been able to find the original ad (with the Cadbury name I did)... Which, in its absence, makes the last sketch reaaallly sketchy
if he interrupted him during the first sentence that would have been a great example of lightning fast, sort of like an interrupting cow joke, thats probably the kind of thing simon was looking for phil!
Ben Peterson yeah exactly! Baby I’m thinking about your body! Because here in the U.K. Cadbury’s used a version of that song to advertise a chocolate bar. 😆 that’s what he’s singing!
OllyTheGinger - I took a film production course back when I was in college and one of the classes was with a Performing Arts tutor who would make us do stupid exercises like this all the time.
This is very much like an acting class at a sixth form college, if you pause it at 5:09 the guy on the right actually looks eerily like me when I was younger.
@@mattcast44 People hold actors in high regard because they imagine them to be the character they sometimes portray, but this is the truth I've seen people decide their politics, purchases and even diatry advice based on these morons!
