Monday, March 20th: 

Students create new acting games.

Chynna and Akili: Taxi/Dance

Three students in a dance class, lead by a dance teacher. Teacher leads the dance which expresses an emotion.  The dance teacher finds a reason to leave the class and a student steps forward and becomes the dance teacher, leading the class in a different dance expressing a different emotion.

Carter: People lie on the floor, feet touching, hands touching. The teacher calls out an emotion and people make a sound and a movement expressing that emotion.

Me: Students say a line from a play they are working on and the students react to the line with a sound and a movement.

Friday, March 24th:  

Copy out your scenes by hand! Copying the scene by hand helps actors memorize the scene! And if you happen to lose your script, then you have a back-up handy.

Everyone stands in a circle and says with the appropriate emotion a line from her/his script that captures the character.  If you do not have a script yet, say a line that expresses how you are feeling at the moment.

Emotional Cocktail with a twist - the actors are playing their characters with their objectives and issues.

Emotional Cocktail participants: Chynna, Miriam,  Dale, Chris, Millenia

Assigned Nina in the Morning to Montserrat and Elizabeth.

Worked with Miriam on Mrs Sorkin

Modi – assistant director, taking notes and blocking.
