Day 6

Absent: Ash, Carly

Time & Space

We began with some simple movement work on guarded/unguarded postures and eye contact. Work to create a sense of "atmospheric pressure" and examine the use of space. We worked "A Christening" with Mitchell and Paige, playing with the tensions of the offstage spaces: child in the tombstones vs. child in the pews.

In re: Time. Our acting lab gives us the opportunity to take time. An important element of comic acting is timing. The comic actor needs to manipulate and manage time on stage, using stillness and silence to gauge
the audience. We will explore this with another activity in the coming week.
