Wednesday, March 11th
Theatre Games:
Addition/Subtraction: students in circle; 1st actor starts with a number; 2nd says plus or minus; 3rd says another number; 4th says equals the number; next go around kids change the numbers to silly objects
Props: kids take an object and turns it into whatever it is not and creates an issue with it, drawing everyone into the drama; for example, a sweater turns into a radio which will not work. Everyone tries to make it work. Then the sweater is thrown to another student, where it will become something else.
Students find the most important line in their scene which expresses their central objective in scene. The students do mill and seethe; then, with their scene partner do Meisner objective exercise using their lines - trying to use different tactics, inflections etc., to affect change.
