Monday, March 16th:
Symphony of Emotions:Actors are given emotions to express through sound and movement. The actors are then assigned different emotions and the director "directs" them in a symphony of emotional sounds.
The actors then say their lines from their Shakespeare scene using the emotion assigned. The actors all stand onstage and say their lines simultaneously.
Actors cut their lines: worked with Ry and Melissa on Julius Caesar
Hot Seat

Theatre
Games:
“Shields
and Bombs”
Pick
one person in group who is your bomb but do not tell that person s/he is your
bomb; now, choose someone who is your shield, but do not tell that person s/he
is your shield. When the director yells, “Bomb!” if the shield is not between
you and your bomb, then you are dead!
“Make
‘Em Laugh”
Break
into two groups:
One
group tries to make the other side:
Laugh
Get
Angry
Feel
ashamed.
By
doing something silly or speaking gibberish
Next
step use a phrase from your scene. Connect it to the objective or super objective
of your character in the scene. Goal is to make the other character feel something - happy, sad, angry, lusty, etc. For example, Hamlet's goal is to make Ophelia love him, but he uses tactic of shaming her (it fits with the lines) into falling in love with him. His lines are shaming her, but his objective is to make her love him.

Carnival!
Actors stand in a circle. One of the actors steps into the circle and begins a movement and a sound which s/he teaches to each actor in the circle. When all actors are doing the sound and the movement, then another actor steps into the circle to teach a new sound and movement until everyone in the circle is doing the new sound and movement. This continues until everyone in the circle has taught everyone else a new sound and movement and the sound and movement has worked itself around the circle.

Four actors are on stage. One
of the actors becomes the sculptor and begins to sculpt the actors into poses
like sculptures. Once the “sculptor” is finished, the actors then begin an
improv based on their poses.
The students then present scenes to the class.

The Echo Poem
Using Soroyan’s poem, but any
poem can do, the poem is broken into lines. Give the poem as a whole to the
class. Read it aloud. Then give the poem, divided into lines, to the class and have them read the poem
silently to themselves and write a response to each line. After one person reads a line from the
poem, someone else reads his/her first reaction to the line. Continue reading
the lines of the poem.
