    From the presentations about different theorists or actors we have been doing for a few days, I did learned a lot of techniques or theories that we can apply in the preparation for our own performance. Take Constantin Stanislavski, as an example. He is the one who insists actors should "soak the self into the play", which basically means that while you are acting, you need to really feel the feelings of how that character feels, and channel your real emotion into the scene. Thus, while I am portraying Juliet in the Act 4 Scene 2 where she goes to ask Friar for help right after Roemo leaves, I need to think about something really sad or despair like my favorite pet dies to achieve that kind of feelings, so that I can act more realistic. Most of the theorists all are pursuing this kind of naturalism and realism like Constantin Stanislavski. The only differences between them would be the techniques used to reach this "naturalism". Like Uta Hahen, the way she creates to help actors act more realistically is to let the actors do many researchs before acting, and create an actual staging to really imagine every detail. I also can use this way in our performance. Thus, I can do many research about Juliet, and really get to know this person. After I have been familiar with her, then I can really be her.
