Milan Sládek

Mime Artist Milan Sládek is still very productive and busy nowadays, just so you know, Prof. Milan Sládek just had his 70-th birthday last 23 February 2008 (www.milansladek.com)

And He is performing on the 2-4 December 2008 in Jakarta :
Salihara
Milan Sládek's Solo „Comédie humaine“
&
Goethe
Ein Leben für die Pantomime / Life for Pantomime/Mime

Just imagine..... a performance without dialogues, just counting on body movements / gestures, and facial expressions, sometimes accompanied by music.
Now, just when you think "Hey, that doesn't sound so hard"
Remember when you were trying to tell something to your friend from afar and he couldn't understand you even when you used gestures, facial expressions and he still didn't understand when you try to silently pronounce the words to him. Well... try performing on a stage where the audience have to understand the storyline, or evoke their feelings and make them feel sad or happy.
Doesn't sound so easy , does it ?

Or if you had to mime an animal .... say a horse, How can you let people know that you're a horse, instead of a pony or a cow or other four legged mammals ?

What gestures or body language that will differentiate these animals and how can other people guess right away, that you're miming a horse ?

If you've been in a Theater workshop, and you must mime, you'll surely know that miming is not as easy as you think it is :)
You definitely have got to be observant and it seems like you have to practice often in front of a mirror :)

Here you can take a peek of Milan Sládek preparing his "mask" :), it's actually an ad of Slovenský plynárenský priemysel (SPP) or Slovak Gas Industry, but the ad is good to watch.

Well, this book tells the passion of 10 kids in Belitong Island (Sumatera) to continue their education and their amazing journey / experiences.

Acting Happy is being really Happy

We all can act like we're happy.
Especially when we're feeling a bit down, sometimes we're all smiley and we 'pretend' to be happy.
We don't even need to be Actors to do that, right ?

well, guess what ? happiness is a choice, and you don't have to pretend and act happy, you can Just be happy, right now.
Yes your problems might still be there, but instead of pretending, you can choose to be genuinely happy, even for that brief 2 minutes, and that makes all the difference.

What does it have to do with acting and theaters anyway ?
It doesn't matter whether you're a student, a mom or a professional actor.
We all have our down time and since "the show must go on", we put on our happy mask.
Well.... the secret is, you simply let go of the happy mask and just be happy, truly genuinely happy.

Have you ever heard of the Laugh Therapy ?
Did you know that even when we're pretending to be happy, when we smile and even when we laugh out loud, the brain doesn't know the difference and thinks that we ARE really happy.
(not crazy happy, just happy happy) :)
I'm assuming the benefit will be much more if we actually choose to wanna BE happy when doing it.
So, when you have to "act" happy, get into character, really get into your character, let go of the happy mask and BE sincerely HAPPY :)

Ready be happy ?
Take a deep breath, smile, be Happy and laugh out loud like you mean it.

HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAEHAHA
HAEEAHRUAIEH AHEUIRAHRAU AHERUIAEHR AEIUHRAU
BUAHAHAH HAEOAHOAHOA
WAKAKAKA KAKAKAK
HAUIEHAUHEUARHA HAEUAH

cheers, :)

Acting
It's not always about gestures, body movements, facial expressions, it's also about your voice.
yesss your voice, Can you act with your voice ?
Can you make facial expressions "shown" with just you vocal ?
Can you show happy without laughing ?
Can you show angry without yelling ?
what about surprised, delighted, feeling down, secretive, being proud, etc, All of those things can be "seen" in your voice.
Hmm... Guess it's time to keep on brushing up our Acting skills :)

Acting

Do you like movies ?
Are you amazed by how good those actors are ?
Besides staring at their good looks of course, we're way past dat *winks*

But seriously, it's unbelieveable how convincing they are, their acting moves you till you get goosebumps sometimes, they make you cry & they make you laugh really hard.

Do you sometimes think that "hey, probably I can do that" or "hey acting doesn't seem too hard, maybe I should do it" , Do those lines ever cross your mind ?
Well... why not do something about it ?
You'll never know unless you actually try an acting class. :)

Go ahead.... explore your hidden talents :D
