Fun! But....

Monologues are fun. But include the why, and they will be even better. I bite my nails. WHY??
Also, take a breath when doing your monologue. Think of what you have said before.
And: monologues should be short (1 minute).

Dragging is fun. But don't drag someone in the scene by holding his/her hand. Eye contact should be enough. Trust that.

References are fun. But keep them local. Diemen Tigers instead of Lakers.

La Ronde is fun. But not with 8 players in a row. So we play La Ronde with 5 players, and then numbers 6, 7 and 8 have a scene with one of the first 5. At some point they will do a monologue as well. These monologues should not bring new info. Add to what's already there.

The camera is fun. But be aware of too many focusses. With one person on the chair, and one close to the camera, don't add an extra focus in the back. And vice versa.
Also, don't take the camera of its tripod. You have 3 options if you want to film the characters onstage:
1) zoom in for a close up
2) characters will move to the camera
3) hands/fingers before the camera will portray characters

Homework is fun. Add pictures to your previous posts on the blog.
