n today's session, we began to include voice work into our exploration of Stanislavski rehearsal techniques. We started by massaging our faces, focusing on each part of the face individually. Then we had to "chew toffee", where we had to pretend we had a toffee in our mouths, chewing on it until we eventually swallowed it. Both these exercises warmed up the muscles in our faces and jaw. This exercise was lead by Lauren H and comes from the physical warm up of stans body and mind interlinking.
'What if: Two words with endless possibilities'
Using stans words as inspiration Sophie then ran an improvisation exercise where sophie gave us a scenario and one person had to take lead and the supporting actors had to role with what ever happened and improv until sophie changed the scenario. This exercise was really useful as this is how we will start to put action to our script after our round the table analysis of our adaptation.
We then reflected with our mentor about the improv and even did some with sophie, we also discussed how important improvisation can be not even just in the rehearsal period but also in the chance that something goes wrong on stage.
To do list;
Finish script adaptation
Find stanislavski quotes that work with our group ethos
Discuss possible characterisation
