The Suspect

"If I take a shot, I never miss. And If I choose to come after you, believe me you'll be the one falling. I gurantee it!"


This is the famous line from the scripted scene called The Suspect. My co-star Jenisha and myself has worked hard together to perform this amazing piece. The conflit in The Suspect is that Ms Hansen (played by Jenisha) is trying to frame a man for the death of her father. Detective Dickerson (played by myself) is interrogating Ms Hansen because she believe that the man was not the killer. This performance leaves a great suspence as the audience does not know wheather or not Ms Hansen is in fact the murderer.


Jenisha Palmer is an amazing student to work with and it was a great privelege having her as my partner for this performance. We are students who are really focused about our education and we always like to achieve for exellence. Practice, practice, practice is always the key to almost everything in life. Everytime that we had together, we used it to rehearse our line and our blocking. We encourage ourselves and eachother on what we can do to make the scene and the characters more authentic. It is always a great feeling to know that you can work with someone who is honest and is an reliable person. And if one of us did something wrong or if we needed to improve on something, we would let eachother know. Jenisha and I definetly understand that Acting Academy is hard course and we have to work hard to earn our marks. Therfore, we prepared alot for this performance and it was important for us to be focused and stive for a level four.


Unfortunetly we did not have a level four performance but it was a giant step from where we started. We started from level 2 performances to a level 3 performance and now we are getting ready to jump from a level 3 performance to a level 4 performance. It always takes a step at a time and even though we did not accomplish exactly want we wanted to, we still grew as artist. And we are excited to go into our relationship scene in hopes to learn from our past mistakes so that we can create a stellar performance. I know that it will not be easy, but we have to do our best to stand up and stand out!


We are the light in the dark theatre and it is our goal to let our light shine brighter everyday.
