Well, in ACROBATICS today, we didn't really do anything new. If you can remember anything, then please post it, otherwise this day in Acrobatics will be forgotten forever in history.
I'll wait...

...very good, thank you.
Now, in MASK this day we did TONS of new stuff!
1) We started with Masks on a Beach. Hilarious! It works the best when you don't force anything to happen. Don't forget to give the mask to the audience all the time. Also, give yourself a functional task to do on the beach so that there is some activity to keep the mask alive.
2) Hold the mask tightly in your hand with your fingers on the top. Now look at the mask at different angles. Now have the mask take a look at different parts of you.
3) Masks Playing Poker--four people enter the stage where there sit four chairs in a half circle position as if around a card table. Someone deals the cards. The four masks play a card game. Eventually someone wins and everyone exits.
-Every time something happens, look at the thing that happened (like someone playing a card or someone exiting or someone winning, etc) then react in the direction of the audience.
Words of advice:
-Don't confuse the movement of the mask with too much movement--ECONOMY OF MOVEMENT!!!
-Isolate one part of your body and move that part in order to react to something.
-Pick one emotion (or make one character choice) and choose only a few specific movements and use those for the character. Then find different degrees of that emotion/choice to play with on stage.
Well, there you have it. Now, who wants to play poker?...........no, I'm serious..........
Sincerely,
This Guy Roby
