Acting Exercises

Much of this week's teaching has been done through the medium of games, tasks and exercises. Here is an example of one in progress.

The chap who is shaving is visualising a mirror hanging on the "fourth wall" in front of him, meanwhile those on the other side of that invisible wall - normally attentive - are doing anything other than paying attention. It's a hard test of focus and concentration for the actor who is trying to maintain the illusion of the mirror hanging on the invisible wall!
