FILM. Watch Pow-wow Highway and Smoke Signals, two very highly thought-of films about Native American life. Based on your viewing, compare and, OK, contrast the stories and themes of these films and see what you can learn about the Native American experience of America and the clash of cultures between red and white peoples. What, in your opinion, would be the just thing to do to reconcile Native culture with the rest of America?

C. DANCE. Try to take a closer look at Native dance traditions. From your viewing of native american dance film, you’ll already know that these dances come from long traditions of story-telling and the drama of events from the tribe’s history. Try to metaphorically put on your moccasins so you can walk in the shoes of an Indian and feel what telling the story through movement and chanting would be like? What would you expect to feel? How would this inform your religious faith? What would it be like if you were told it was against the law to dance and chat? It might help your thinking process if you found some Native poetry on line to inspire yousome Native wisdom. Go for it!

Please read the instruction carefully. I dont want any sources or references on this essay. Its a discussion question so “NO SOURCES”Thank you
Stanislavski developed a series of exercises and techniques for performers.
1) Must always maintain a state of physical and vocal relaxation: this means that unwanted tension has to be eliminated and that the performer must all times attain a state of physical and vocal relaxation
2) Find the character’s inner truth: means their thought and emotions
3) Perfect their ability to play within an Ensemble: means that performers do not act alone; they interact with other people. Stanislavsky was aware that many performers tend to stop acting, or lose their concentration, when they are not the main characters in a scene or when someone is talking. This tendency destroys the through line and causes the performers to move into and out of a role. That, in turn, weakens the scene of ensemble-the playing together of all the performers
4) Develop their own importance of specific/express specific emotions terms of specific details: this means that a performer should never try to act in general, he said, and should never try to convey feeling such as fear or love in some vague, amorphous way. In life, Stanislavsky said, we express emotions in terms of specifics, performers must find similar concrete activities. The performer must also conceive of the situation in which a character exists-what Stanislavsky referred to as the given circumstance-in terms of specific
5) Discover their character’s given circumstances. Must explore the What? Why? How? Any scene: this means that the performer’s attention must always be focused on a series of physical actions linked by the circumstances pf the play
Which of these excercises/techniques do you think is most important for the actor? Why?
