Self and Act.

The group topic is about self and act. It’s concentrating on how others reactions (it could be watching television drama and other kind of shows) andother people’s point of view would affect one’s self. Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, revealed the human subconscious, believing that people’s mental activities are active in various levels, which has a great influence on the interpretation of scripts by actors. For instance, psychology enables actors to show the behavior and action of characters not by imagination, but by following the logic of life, studying the psychology of characters from the perspective of life, creating character images and truly reflecting life. So when actors really get into those characters their selves might be changed by those characters.
