DIRECTIONS Read the paragraph below. Then use what you have learned about paragraph structure to answer the questions below. Paragraph 2 Have you ever seen an actor barely move his arms when the scene requires that he extend his arm in a sweeping gesture? He looks more like a penguin flapping his flippers tightly at his side than like a man making an important point. Unfortunately, such an actor may never have studied movement for the theatrical stage. Acting students are required to take courses in exercise and movement to help them develop a full range of motions they can use to prepare for a role. Instructors teach a variety of physical movements along with different theatrical movement styles. They encourage students to connect voice and physical movement and to look at the relationship between a character’s spoken lines and physical movements. Movement impacts the meaning of each line. In addition, most theater classes cover changes in movement through different historical periods. Studying the variations allows students to see how movement has evolved and lets them expand their movement repertoires. They also learn to understand the different ways actors have been treated by society over the last few centuries. Most acting students leave their movement classes feeling that they have a much better understanding of the work involved in creating a fully developed character. When writing either for or against a certain issue, writers will often use words with a positive or negative connotation. Identify 3 words or phrases from the paragraph that support the writer’s beliefs about the need for movement lessons for actors.
