Welcome back!
1. Hold hands, with your toes together with your partner. Switch hands. Pull yourselves toward one another, then let go of each other, then switch hands and fall back again. Take risks. Wait to grab your partner's hand until the last moment.
2. Titanic Handshake. Here's what I mean. Shake hands. Person 1 squats down creating a nice square platform with their legs. Person 2 steps up as close to P1's hips as possible. P1 holds other hand upside down behind head, and P2 grabs it. P2 now stands on other side of hip with body as close to P1 as possible. P2 now stands up. P1 leans forward ever so slightly after letting go with both hands, and P2 bends his/her knees ever so slightly. Both spread arms out with palms up and smile.
3. Forward roll into a headstand with legs straight, then roll down onto stomach in sort of a reverse worm to knees then go into a forward roll again.
4. Partner rolls. Roll together--one in front of the other. Then go into a stomach cruncher or jump on your partner's back while they are on all fours in a dog position (what I like to call the Egg Shell jump).
Now, let's move on to CHARACTERS
1. Character Interviews. Pretty self explanatory. "We want to see how you enter." -- Ole
2. 5 Characters in a train compartment.
-Let each character sit down. Do not enter in a repetitive rhythm, but enter more organically and unpredictably. Wait for the other characters to establish themselves before you enter so the audience doesn't get confused and overwhelmed.
-You don't have to make something happen. When you get such different characters together, it's already interesting. Be still more.
Much love,
David Roby
