When starting a work shop it s always good to start with some warm ups for example today starting with
A physical warm up in silence
Big small twist
and minimal contact with the floor
These exercise get your body ready for a lesson as it is the morning and your body is most probably still asleep.Doing it in silence i believe is more effective as you take away from the urge to talk and anything happening in your mind just stops and you just focus on the lesson and objectives you have been told.
Next the alphabet box i personally saw as a bit of fun as it allowed us to be silly with it how ever it was still a performance Starting off by dong it by your self and building on such a simple idea of spelling your names then putting different objectives or diversions to allow the piece to build is a great idea as it is much more simple for an actor when building something small and slowly building it.
These then performing them to the class in groups of three with music. Me as the performer , personally i did not noticed when the music stopped or started and believe this is how it is meant to be , as you are meant to be indulged into the performance its self not whats happening around you.
But however watching them is a different story many of the class said they were finding stories from the pieces while watching others and creating ideas in there mind to what they could mean. But for me i was having trouble doing that as i just saw movements all put together and not a story i don't know why but they were still great.
