"Warm-up and ensemble development"

Musical Theatre Research Project
Assignment:"Physical Theatre and Barbican Performance"


Last weak my contemporary teacher introduced us a new project which we are going to start this week. But in this lesson we did different exercise which we haven't done before. We did some warm -up and ensemble development. This exercise we had to do in medium square which was drawn on the floor. We were divided into 2 groups. We had to walk around the square and teacher were giving us some tips which we have to do. First was freeze and everyone have to stop in one position and don't move. Second was look at someone or something. Third thing was move forward .The fourth thing was move back and last one look at everyone.  So we had freeze, look at someone, move forward, move back and look at everyone. But when we had to move forward and back we had to also show some feeling and expression. That's looked like really interesting . After this teacher change rules a little be . In this time we were repeating this whole things like before but when we had to move forward or back so everyone without saying had to move into the same direction and look at the same point. So that's exercise forced us to teamwork and focus on task. While we were doing this it was look like we made some performance already. Actually that was looked like amazing.


I really enjoyed this lesson and really wasn't think that this exercise could be interesting and even helpful that much for me.
