Dell Arte: Starting the Mask

Week 8:

Only a three day week for the thanksgiving break.  No p-lab, so no rehearsals at night.  It was to just having classes in the day and have our nights to ourselves.  So, this one will be brief.

What was hit hard again this week was intentionality and that everything we do has purpose.  When we move in this dynamic theater, it needs to have images and be specific. So that every movement we are releasing something in us out to the world and in the air.  We don't just do things, but each of us carries the world.

When wearing a mask, your have to let people in, not force them to look at you.  It's all in the eyes.  The mask needs to be genuine and authentic.  And that is the struggle with masks and like in acting, how do we be authentic.

Outside of school, I learned that breaks are awesome.

Rebhuhn out.
