Is your Face Off creative?



        Face Off is a new TV series featuring all kind of artists. There are sculptures, make up artists, and even body painters. Their challenge? To create different characters based on a certain theme, such as Return to Oz (remix of wizard of oz) or animals found in the ocean.  The problem is, they only have a certain amount of time to complete the tasks. The artists are pushed to the limit and are forced to use every creative idea they have. How they use their creativeness to create something can relate to drama as well. Actors and directors have to have a creative and open mind to make something worth seeing. Without being creative, productions would be boring and the performances and concepts wouldn't become clear to the audience. Being creative involves thinking out of the box, taking chances, and doing something you think no one else would. In acting class, this could help you get out of your shy stage and shine as the center of attention. You can be creative with skits and games, or even during warm-ups when its your week to lead the class. In order to have an understanding of being creative, maybe you can ask yourself questions such as: How does giving a creative twist to my skit help me? Am I doing something different, or something that everyone always does? Is there another way to make a certain activity unique? Whether you're on the new show Face Off  making sea creatures, or just trying to do an activity in an acting class, being creative can help intrigue your audience and can help you win big on national television! What are some ways you can be creative with what you do? Are you always giving different varieties of what you're doing?  Being open minded is also a way to open up yourself to knew opportunities. With all these methods, you can accomplish things you couldn't without your personal take on something. How do you think of way to change things around?! Share, and maybe other students will be able to catch on to your method and improve on their creativeness where ever they may need it.
