The gang had the giggles for this class! It was so much fun! And it wasn't even because of Bold Chex Party Mix! We worked on clearing fears, exposing them to the light and bringing awareness to the intentions behind our actions so that we can create exactly what we want. We worked on auditions again this week - practicing entrances, exits and slates, feeling good about ourselves all the way through the entire process. We did some improvs in which there was silence until one of the characters had to speak the one line they were given - we had a a sperm donor and the lady who worked at the sperm bank (It's not funny.), two kids in a sandbox (Shut up!), two teenagers in the back seat of an older brother's car (Your breath is disgusting.), and a teamster and his unhappy companion (I like that.). We finished the evening with auditions for a horror film - learning to take the lines off the page and go through various stages of call backs. A good time was had by all!
