Really?

So, as an actor I have come to believe certain things about the craft. For me one of those things is that if I don't understand a character or I can't figure out why the director sees the character differently than I then I will use that as motivation. I will use all the engery I can muster to find an understanding. I would never run away just because I don't get it or because I don't see eye to eye with an instructor/director.

Let me give you background info to make sense of what you just read. I had my acting class on Wednesday. Let's just say that my scene did not go too well. I didn't get together with my scene partner during the week to rehearse and it showed. The instructor gave us harsh but warrented critiscm. I took it for what it was and it made me want to improve and do better. My scene partner on the other hand was not too happy. He started a running, somewhat aggresive, dialogue with the instructor. Needless to say he was not listening, kept talking over the instructor, and then ended up quiting the class the next morning.

I, as an actor, just do not understand this.

I just wanted to get it off my chest, share a little frustration, and now I will move on!
