Favorite Actor
My favorite actor is Robert Downey Jr. I really like him because he stared in one of my favorite movie, Iron Man. He went to Stagedoor Manor, which is a theatrical training camp for ages 8 to 17. I don't believe that he did any theatre before, but i may be wrong. He grew up in front of the camera. At the age 5 he stared in a film, "Puppy", which was directed by his father.

Flash Mob
I have never done a flash mob before, but it was pretty fun. There wasn't much people at that time, but the people that were there was looking around wondering what everyone was doing. Some people didn't really care much. It was fun, but was kind of weird because people were looking at you weird. It also felt pretty weird just looking at my phone, while the alarm went off. Most of the people just looked for a few second and just kept walking. What probably made the flash mob more entertaining was all the people that did it, it seemed more normal. But if one person just did it, it would be more weird. I really enjoyed the flash mob and wish to do one again in the future!

Slamnation
SlamNation fulfills all four of the functions of theatre by:
Actors: While the poets are giving their poems, they were acting out what they were saying, was expressing themselves, and acted like a person that would fit into the story. They would not normally act like this in their regular lives. An good example of this would be Beau Sia, when he reads his poetry he express the story so much, he yells and acts out his poetry. But when he was just talking to the camera, he wasn't yelling and was just acting like a normal person.
Audience: The poets are giving their poems to a group of people/the audience who came to watch the poets. At the first part of the film, the audience of the New York judges were much easier in scoring, but at Portland the judges were more tough.
Space: The place where the contest was held was in Portland in a theatre i believe.
Story: Each of the poets tell a story about themselves or stories about the world it is now. Beau Sia, also tells a story about him at the gym and what he hears and sees at the gym.
Even though i only really talked about one person, everyone that participated in the competition did all of these. They each had different ways they wanted to act and different stories they wanted to tell. The only same things that each poet really had the same were the space they performed at and the audience that they gave their poetry too. I think Slam is very cool because when they are acting out what they are saying it is a lot more entertaining than just watching someone read poetry. I also like how much energy they put into there act.
