Session #21: Wed., April 2, 2014

Warm-Up & Vocal Flexing:
Improvisation Work: 
1) Robot Assembly Line
  • Students form a circle
  • Mrs. Hancock will tap one actor to begin
  • First person begins a movement (robotic task-crips and rythmic that the next person in line can add to) TO BEGIN THIS IS IN SILENCE
  • Next person observes and then will perform a different part of the task begun by actor #1
  • Finally the last actor in the rotation will connect to actor #1 to complete the circle 
  • Later rotations---add sound
2) Mystery Catch
  • One actor begins by holding something and interacting with it
  • This actor eventually decides to throw the object/'something' to another actor
  • This object/'something' is caught and interacting with by actor #2 for 5-10 seconds and then he/she will change the object/'something'--it will assume a new shape which the audeinec must clearly see
3) Headline Postcards
  • One actor will be asked to be the photographer and "NAME IT"--this means naming the postcard with a creative title or headline
  • Actors will move into a position as if in a picture postcard. 
  • Actors should concentrate on adding to what is already in the scene and/or altering the scene just be adding a new person/position to the scene.
