So here we are ladies and germs! We’re at the end of Class 3 – Advanced Body Mechanics. It’s been a great class, despite numerous external factors hampering my ability to dedicate proper time to my assignments in recent weeks. So without prattling on too much longer, here’s what 3 months of hard AM work has bestowed upon me:
As I said, it’s been a great class and seems to be a welcome addition to the AM syllabus. Although I don’t feel like I’ve actually learned anything “new” as such (I think the lectures are still in need of reshuffling/revamping), this term has been awesome for really solidifying the concepts of body mechanics from Class 2 and indeed the fundamental principles we learned Class 1.
What’s more, Bryan has been a superb mentor to me this term. I was in a bit of a weird place after Class 2 (I think it was that tap dance that nearly finished me off!) and it carried over into Class 3 as well. I was under a lot of pressure from various quarters and things were pretty bleak for a while. Thankfully I had Bryan to pick me up each week during the Q&As and the critiques.
It’s definitely the most open I’ve been during Q&As; it’s quite weird when you’re venting in front of people you barely know, but it was incredibly cathartic and I felt a lot better for it. Just as well Bryan is a pro at keeping you motivated! At no point did he ever tell me to just “man up” or anything like that. Always understanding, always encouraging. It was just what I needed so thanks a lot Bryan, you’re awesome!
Bring on Acting in Class 4 (right after I’ve had my week off! :P)!
