Our session began in the theatre, it was exciting be in such a space. We started with a Stanislavski’s concentration warm up to help us get into a neutral position and to help us focus towards our character.
A vocal warm up followed which was called Tenjeuwah- which means Welcome.
Our next exercise was to close our eyes, stay in one place, and using our imagination to visualize our characters clothing in a mirror, starting from the feet working our way upwards to the head.
After this we would speak out loud of our visions. This was called the full length mirror process.
Using a sentence from our script we would repeat it in different ways with our vision fixed in our minds.
My sentence was “I am the seagull, no that’s not right”
I did find this exercise useful and I would surly use it to help me focus towards any character I play in the future.
After these focused exercises we all introduced to each other what we we’re wearing, this helped us to develop further towards our character. The last session lead us to introduce the room that our scene was set in. I decided to go take the empty space at once as I felt I was totally in the zone.
I do believe I gave a strong descriptive performance.
