Hotshots urged to act


Actor/director Clint Brick’s presence in Big Brother house is all about equipping housemates with acting skills and it seems they are always anxious to learn a thing or two from the experienced actor. This morning, he dropped by, made his himself comfortable in the lounge as he waited for the sleepy heads to join him. He grabbed a cup of coffee and placed printed pieces on the table. Among the first one to come down was Sheillah who seems to have grown a liking for Clint as she sat near him. 
 
He shared that in as much as some actors go to school to acquire acting skills, anybody was able to act as long someone developed a liking for the art. Clint soon introduced the housemates to the printed copies which were scripts of different scenes. Housemates were instructed to get into pairs and pick a scene to work on, any that they would be comfortable with. We were grateful to have Butterphly finally join the group – she dragged herself to the table and lazily pulled a chair out. The Zimbabwean radio presenter loves her sleep!
 
Clint taught the housemates how to dissect a scene by using the five “w’s” – who, when, where, when and why. He said that these would help in perfectly contextualizing a scene and the characters within that scene.
 
Permithias and Kacey took a demonstration and Clint seemed convinced with their act up. The housemates were evidently enjoying the session but it had to come to an end as Biggie called Clint to the store room.
 
Which Hotshot is your ideal actor?
