Make certain that you have completed the worksheet from Friday, February 3rd's class.
The three-person 'conflict' scenes you performed on Monday with the ADA 4M's were excellent. Today, you focused on developing two-person scenes with a conflict centred on gender-based stereotypes. We only got to see four scenes before the bell rang--looking forward to seeing the rest tomorrow.
Concepts we were reminded of from sharing our work:
a) how an object can become a symbol (remote control);
b) how physical proximity can represent the distance between our points of view;
c) how our acting partners can support us in a scene when we forget what we had rehearsed;
d) how to hold for laughs while still maintaining a 'natural' flow of dialogue...
This class will be reading Ibsen's A Doll's House as your introduction to Modern Theatre, hence the focus on gender stereotypes. You may be surprised at what shocked audiences in 1880!
