My lesson

warm up activity
story in a minute- three little pigs
 Maddy  and David and Nicola were the little pigiesss :) and maria was the big bad wolf.
Alannah and Emily narrated the story, in a minute. The outcome was funny beacuse it was so rushed and people had to exagerate moves to make the story clearer.
did the same with little red riding hood

second task- taxi cab
emily driver takes on the personalitly of everyone else.
secretive british agent
snobby opera singer
hyper 4 year old
someone obbsessed with hygine and bananas
friendly over talkative old lady
other characters i thought were : ex army officer, Nun, an overworked elf from santa's workshop, a hippy style yoga teacher
Once someone get's in they have to take on the role of the new person. once the taxi is full, after a while the driver will stop to drop people off and they will take on the role of the person about to leave.
This exercise was good in seeing different variations of the same character, as other actors tried to mimic the orginal character's characteristic's not knowing who they were given.

in pairs:
 confession box - confesser confess, priest comes up with some crazy reason to ask for forgiveness and perswade other person this is the right way. improvise from their

maddy and maria performed this very well taking on the role of the character in russian accents. They  worked on this for a short amount of time and came up with something which looked liked it had been rehersed for weeks. Very funny due to  the reality of the characters.
maria confessed about drinking vodka and having an affair.
maddy the priest then told her the only way for forgiveness was to douse herself in vodka and take pictures from different angles and give to the priest- trust these two to sexalise it....

flower shop owner serves an italian customer who speaks little english.
alannah and nicola played this very well taking on face expressions and gestures to replace the broken verbal communican.
Alannah unpleased throw everything other the shop and nicola the shop owner paniced and made it very humourous.

a car boot sale
an antique dealer( Emily) is browsing along and comes across a geezer(David) who is selling a very interesting antique which will make her rich at auction. she tries to con david as she does not think he is clever. David however knows it's worth alot but is not sure how much.

David was a natural carboot seller, the lanuage and  behaviour, completed the scene.
Emily was an incrediable antique dealer, you could tell straight away from her tone of voice and posture and the lanuage she used.

right last one.
 lines from  the Tracy Emin exhibistion

they had to somehow get these lines in; they were in a tesco staffroom.

"everytime I see my shit"
" Just so fucking simple"
" i find your attitude a little bit negative"
"I can feel you smile"
" Journey across the road"
"out to lunch"

hope you enjoyed the lesson i really wanted to get like a murder mystery game but for a bank robbery in, however the online ones used more then the people we had. However maybe we can incorprate this somehow. interviews prehaps.
