NO FORTH WALL

The exciting thing about theatre for me is the ability of creating a second world, to create an illusion and being allowed to be in it and explore. Theatre is two worlds the audience, the actors,(the stage ,the auditorium) theatre for me has to make my inside turn or move i would like to feel the uneasiness to moved from my comfort zone yet again i think killing the forth wall does not allow that. I was in a production that removed me totally from my comfort zone it was not an easy ride, the crucial element in that stage play was interacting with an audience sharing the journey of the show with the audience, because they there for the show so i was told that immediatly if you succumb in your own world you discord the relationship and interest of the audience in that moment i despised brencht for emphasizing the ideology of devices and allination. i didnt undrstand why i should always keep eye contact with the audience i felt like i was dectating the story to them i even felt that i dont trust the story that it will sit well with them but no need for me to always feed the story. what really confused me was the separation of character and actor those are two different deliveries in theatre, whether its an actor being a character or an actor being in the moment of actinng then comes out of the characer and become an actor(the person)

what i really learnt in no forth wall experienced was that the audience is part of the illusion the become the world you leave in and they transpose energy to you as actor you feel the connection you have, and as an actress perfoming in this show i felt that i was appreciated they going through this show with they empathize sympathize with the character because im making them be part of the show and showing gratitude .

but i still like my forth wall to be there
