It's been another incredibly busy couple of days since my last post. Movement, voice and impro in the mornings, then after lunch an intense 3 hours or so of breaking down into groups of 12 or so and exploring scenes - kind of like the auto couer except this time just 30 minutes to get something together before showing it in front of everyone! Put into the mix the challenge of group members speaking different languages and you've got a pretty intense process for half an hour - then we start again! We did some great exercises this morning using the 'Be not afeared' speech of Caliban, which involved chorus, manipulating a blinfolded actor, and feeding lines from chorus to solo actor.
More of the same tomorrow plus, continuing work on the masks that we have been making with Freddie. It's half past eleven now and my bed is calling.
