7. I feel as though my stances are very natural, and I can move freely without it feeling awkward.
8. Sometimes I feel like I should be doing things with my hands, and that makes me feel weird.

ReplyDelete2. I am a Theatre Major concentrating in performance.
3. I'm an Introvert, but it's more like 50/50 depending on the day.
4. My hobbies and interests include (but not limited to) singing, philosophy, art, and languages.
5. Presence, in my opinion, means being connected and open to everything happening around you. Not focusing on what happened or what will happen. I would like to think I have presence because I try to have it everywhere in my daily life.
6. For the most part, I feel comfortable with it. But some days I'm like, 'Eh, Could use a tad more exercise.'
7. I love to do some hip hop dance moves. I am confident in that part about how I move. I also appreciate the way I walk.
8. I am so self-concious about doing anything big or strong in movement because it doesn't always end up working out the way I would like it to go; especially when it has to be something graceful.
9. I hope that I develop more of an understanding about the way I move across the stage. I would like to have a little more confidence in purpose and develop good execution in the way I take to the stage.
10. I would like to go to grad school to learn more about the stage. And maybe around the same time within ten years I would have an established career of being a singer/actor.
