I slept only three hours last night. Three-hour sleep was nothing hard three years ago， but not any more. I was almost crying as I changed to go out in the morning. I really have to start keeping regular hours.
Rehearsal of a scene at Starbucks. I am working on the play "Beyond the Horizon(地平線の彼方)" by Eugene O’Neill(ユージーン・オニール) now in a class. It is the first scene to work on in a while. I’ve been away from scenes on purpose recently in order to DESTROY my acting style once. I didn’t intend to work on a scene in this term either， so I only chose technique classes. It turned out， however， one of the technique classes was also about a scene study. Well， maybe I could do some scenes now.
Anyway， I rehearsed a scene from "Beyond the Horizon" with my partner. This is the third time to rehearse， but we are still reading. My teacher Salem puts emphasis on building a strong relationship at first rather than "making a scene".
My partner is rather a director wannabe than actor. A director is not necessarily good actor. Today he was having difficulty making conversation when he was acting. He was not really talking， which made the reactions fake.
I believe I am not qualified to "advise" him and I never do it to classmates， but because he asked for my opinion， I told him what I thought. Obviously he was not listening to me but planning what he was gonna do next AS AN ACTOR， so I told him to forget about his lines and really listen to my charactor.
To make him concentrate on listening， I used a method that i brought from JAPAN. I learned this method when I was acting in Osaka， which I am not gonna share with you here. haha. Anyway， it worked super greatly. It was 10 times better. He changed apparently to me， and he said he can feel it. Of course he can. Actually I was surprised because he changed much more than I expected.
I said to him "See? It worked pretty well. You can call it KYOHEY TECNIQUE". He said he would. Well， I know it is not "my tecnique" my technique， but I don’ care. I expect someday Yogesh become a great director and spread this thing as "KYOHEY TECHNIQUE". How cool it would be.
I came back home early， but I didn’ wanna fall in sleep till night， so I watched DVD.
"Lost in Translation" starring Bill Murray(ビル・マーレイ) and Scarlett Johansson(スカーレット・ヨハンソン)and dirrected by Sofia Carmina Coppola(ソフィア・コッポラ). It was a decent one， but maybe because I had been told it was great so much， it was not as terrific as I expected. I liked actors. Bill make himself unmotivated guy nicely. Scarlett， who was only 18 years old back then， was not acting to show as many young actors. I respect it. Plus， Anna Faris(アンナ・ファリス)， the blond girl was so cute.
It’s 12:30. I guess I can go to sleep now. Good nig....zzz....
