Emotion Memory is another one of Stanislavski's teachings. Its all about using your past experiences and emotions and using them in a scene. This makes the scene realist and giving it more feeling.
What We Did
We were given a blank letter and after reading the letter we either felt guilty or angry. Before we performed them we had to focus on a point in are life where we felt guilty or angry, and use that emotion in the scene. This task taught me how hard it is to uncover emotions, then have to put them away again. After watching a few performances I thought the best once's were when people really found a dark place inside, you could see there minds thinking about what is happening and you could see the emotion on there face.
I have decided to use Emotional Memory in my Spoonface monologue as it is an emotional piece. However my other to monologues are not as emotional therefore I might not used this technique. However I will experiment with it.
