Wk 5 journal

wk 5 March 30th

Excersise
  • At the beginning of the lesson we did a warm up , by standing in a circle and doing various warm up excersises. This was helpful in focusing and feeling confortable within the group.

Voice
  • Today we experimented with Linkley techniques in order to use variety and explore different ways of changing our voices. First, we went through each individual voice technique and then we were able to move around in the space applying each voice technique to movements. We then explored doing this at different paces and with saying lines from our monolouge and moving around the space. We also did an excersise which involved either projecting our voice to a point across the room, making eye contact with someone and saying the line to them and also pretend to say our line to a tiny person.

Body

  • When were moving aroud the space exploring different voice technniques we were able to move our bodies very confortably as we became much more confident in doing extreme movments from our movement work over the last few weeks.
  • Also we did various excersises of sayin our lines for example, we had to say our line in a way an elephant would, and lie down and say our line.

Group

  • We also did some partner work which helped to practise the dialouge for our monolougues. We read the monolouge out to one another and when my partner could identify a word i said that was emotional, applied to the senses or desribed somehthing, they would repeat it to show us to apply more emphasis. We then practsed applying some laban and linkley to the piece and applied movement to the dialouge. Overall, we worked really well but we ran out of time to fully go through each text.
