T Minus...Today was a day for Princess Jae jokes. We had a class about camouflage and disguises first thing and the instructor had nothing better to do than to use actors and drama as an example.
I got what he was saying about completely blending with one's environment. With changing not just one's looks, but the way you move and sound, too. I remember in Dr. Jin automatically moving to check my watch when I was asked for the time. Everyone cracked up and I was so ing embarrassed I NG'd the next three takes of that scene.
So yeah, I got that whole becoming-one-with-your-background idea. The others… not so much. Lots of lewd jokes, quite a few at my expense, until I asked if any one of them had ever dressed as a woman and tried to be convincing and the instructor jumped right on that.
It was a fun exercise, actually, trying to think of all the things you'd have to change and monitor while playing a woman. s, hips, heels…not slouching, holding your head a little differently, moving your hips, setting your feet, sitting, standing, manners… and being told that the tiniest details, like forgetting that you're wearing makeup or not sitting down first, are the ones that will trip you up.
I don't think we ever had any other class pass so quickly. And I love today's homework task. I've never tried to become invisible in a wood. Thinking about that will be an excellent distraction.
