New stuff:
-Wavy arms, but this time we did them backwards and also with one arm going forward and the other going backwards. CRAZY! Try to have a "David Detachment" as the illustrious Ole put it.
-New warmup--rest your ankle on your knee, make sure your foot is hanging over your knee completely, and place your arm on the stretched leg. Do this while sitting down.
-And of course, we worked on Mime walks once again.
VOICE
-Lie on your back. "Stand up your legs" as Janusz puts it. Then cross one leg over the other as if you're crossing your legs like you would if you were sitting on a chair. Let your legs fall to the side of the leg on top. Then place your palms together above your head and push your arms to the side of your body keeping your arms straight and palms together all the time.
-Now, say the "Jordan, Gordon" poem while skipping, walking, and stomping. Be extravagent!
IMPROV
-Ole played two pieces of music for us this day and we did the following with them:
-The music is your partner. Start in an apartment, and open the door to your partner. At some point leave the apartment. Interact, really play with the music, and react to its changes and mood. We did this four times, so each of us had four different stories and four different partners (if we were lucky, yeow!).
-Bus stop with groups of four people. Listen to both the music and to each other. You may or may not actually get on the bus.
-Words from David: don't wait to see what your partners are imagining on stage (especially by pointing at something to try and find common ground), but just go with your partner's mood and intention and react. Listen to the music.
-You can react with or against the music. These are both perfectly reasonable and hilarious options.
Great work. That be it for today.
Much love,
David
