Helen's performance

These days, Ms.Guarino let us choose important dramatist from a list of theatres. At first, I was ruminating about Stanislavski because I have done his acting techniques before, and it will be much easier for me to research about him than any other people on the list. However, I realize maybe I should choose another one since I had had him before, so I think I will choose a harder one. That leads me to do Michael Chekhov. Through the presentation of each of one, I have learned different techniques that each of them describes. Nevertheless, I learned more about my actor.
