Weird acting experience!?

Question

I just wanted to let you who are interested know in this amazing experience I've just had and would liek to hear from those out tehre who'd had the same.

I am part of an out of school drama/film group and we have been working on different techniques. One I had learnt about was when you start with teh emotions from the past (memory recall or something) and they build into physical actions. But there is also a way where you can start with the physical and they start feeling so real that they become real, and you actually start feeling these emotions.
This is what happened to me.

We'd developed characters from doing a quick improv where you are on a train with invisible people and I chose to be someone who is really afraid of trains. This included breathing heavily, gripping onto my chair, tapping my feet in order to distract myself among otehr things.

Then we had to combine every character from my classes imrpovs into one train journey with people coming and going at differe

different stops. Before I stepped on I started to try and feel nervous and butterflies actually started flippin in my stomach. I came in when the 'train' was full and so I had to stand. I gripped onto the 'pole' and began breathing heavily, and i began to get sorta dizzy and kept half shutting my eyes to block out the train commotion because I was 'scared'. Now things started getting hazzy and I actually half lost track of the time as I was focusing on getting this trip over and done with.

Then someone freed a seat and a pounced down and, really feeling quite panicey, kept breathing deapley and kept my head in my hands or running through my hair. Then I actually noticed I had began to feel pins and needles all through my body-and it was sort of scary! I truly began to ttomp my feat and rub my hands to get rib of the feeling while staying in character.

Now some may not realise but this was such an amazing, weird feeling ebcause I was really feeling the character and afterwards I felt really shakey. I'm sorry I went on so long I just wanted to share this experience with some of you who appreciate good acting. Wow.

Answer 1

This is actually how people with PTSD respond in anxious situations. I hope what you experienced was "acting" and not a true reaction to an old memory. If you can shake the feeling, it was acting. If the queasiness continues, talk to a professional. Irregardless, as we say in Massachusetts, it sounds as though the reaction from your fellow improv classmates was positive. Congratulations.

Yeah that man was once most likely a freak, what you probably did was once the proper factor to do. If you honestly instructed him to f*** off he generally might comply with you house and discover an possibility to .... you recognize... as revenge that's. He acted like he had a few variety of persona sickness... Be cautious of folks like the ones.
