Ensemble

Ensemble

Through various research and previous experience, I have come to the conclusion that an ensemble is an approach to a piece that the entire company takes with a more unified stance instead of each actor emphasizing their individual performances. I feel that in order to create a successful ensemble piece, all actors will have to begin every rehearsal with various exercises in order to not only fully focus their minds, but to clear them as well so to ensure all decisions made about the piece are all in unison and harmony with each actor's vision of it even if it is not their vision initially. I am unfortunately not knowledgeable on any ensemble pieces based on stage, however I am in multimedia/film pieces such as "Reservoir Dogs", "X-men" and "Lord of The Rings". My favorite multimedia piece is "The Avengers". This is because I was extremely impressed by the way in which the cast managed to maintain a natural flow with all the characters despite them all being characters so big they had their very own film pieces dedicated just to them.
