Spotlights, Keyholes, Imaginary Stretches and Countermask!

This friday was aa rather overwhelming one.

We started with MIME class where we've been focusing mostly on isolations connected to maskwork.

After the usual warmup we went through the isolation excercises by our selves (as a reminder to paractice in our free time...)
We did the keyhole excercise again, watching through a hole in our fistss to reproduce the sensation of focusing through a mask. (Move, notice, stop, focus)

Afterwards we moverd on to a new excercise for the maskwork. We called it spotlight. We imagined a spotlight attached to our foreheads and had see things with the spotlight. Keeping our eyes alligned with our head, trying to see noticing everything on the way as our head moves in different directions without any jumps with our eyes.

(It helped me to concentrate on the image of the spotlight, because having a too small focus point is really hard to maintain...)

After this we moved on to VOICEWORK:

We had a new excercise:

First: As we sat we grabbed one leg with the same arm on the heel, and with the other by the toes, turning the other leg back.
We moved the leg being held in circles towards the back of the head and back down again in the same curve. (Doesn't matter how far we could reach)

Second: 

BRB!!!
