Acting Fundamentals Week 11 (11/7/2016)

Good work today.  The class was lead through a sequencing excercise before even stretching which was very nice.  The excercise involved laying on the floor in the dark, which while helpful may not have been the best for post midterm students.  My facaulty member got the students to be engaged with the excrcise even in the dark.

I also noticed that the students know our daily warm ups by heart.  It was great to see that the students haven really absorbed the excercises.  I think that is important in a classroom setting to have daily rituals.  Having the same form, but different content everyday is how to have a class that runs smoothly.  It should be noted that because of this smoothness students were having trouble quoting themselves on occasions today.

After class I worked with a pair of students in their scene.  We worked à crossing and cut sow, of the text together.  I realized that I need work in letting the students make choices for themselves in the scene work.  My first instinct is to direct and make the choices that I think would work best, need to learn to take a step back and let the student  have autonomy in their work.  I just want them to do amazing!
