First rehearsal done ... and dusted.
Got the actors to throw crocodiles and paper airplanes at each other while I threw a giraffe. For a warm up.
This warm up involved a person moulding an imaginary ball into anything they wanted then throwing it at another person to catch.
Don't worry guys, we weren't harassing animals at the zoo. We were becoming animals through the craft of, acting. (In my mind I'm saying "acting" very dramatically, it's fun!)
Firstly we tried out laughter yoga. Think it's pretty funky. Weird, but funky.
At least we got to say we chased people out of the room with the power of our laughter. Don't know if that's a good thing ...
Man, there are so many different kinds of warm up techniques I never knew existed out there. Really going to have to wade through them all to find out the ones that will be suited for theatre actors.
Will be fun trying to figure that out.
This is going to be short, because as you may be able to see in the video, my brain's just refusing to cooperate right now.
Until next time,
Jos
