Theatre Classroom.
6:15pm.
Today, Franchesca came late so Phoebe and Mike started playing Colombian Hypnosis*.
*COLOMBIAN HYPNOSIS INSTRUCTIONS: 1) Select a HYPNOTIST, 2) Select a HYPNOTIZED INDIVIDUAL, 3) HYPNOTIST lifts hand and puts palm roughly 6 inches from the HYPNOTIZED INDIVIDUAL's face, 4) HYPNOTIZED INDIVIDUAL follows HYPNOTIST's palm, 5) Enjoy.
First. Phoebe and Mike played with each other, switching who was HYPNOTIST and who was the HYPNOTIZED INDIVIDUAL. Second. Phoebe and Mike separated and were following their own ~I~N~V~I~S~I~B~L~E~ HYPNOTIST. This was understandably difficult for them because they were forced to behave on their own with no external stimuli, which led to the idea that they needed to be creative. This however was not the case. I guess this exercise reinforced the idea that the normalcy of everyday actions can be extremely interesting. Third. Phoebe and Mike used wooden beams as their HYPNOTISTS which was extremely interesting. It was very simple. It was very easy. It was weird. This was confirmed when Franchesca came in, saw Phoebe on her hands and knees, looking intently at the short wooden beam and saw Mike hunched over creeping around and around a tall wooden beam. (THIS WAS GOOD)
We played several games with Connor and his cast, which was great because we rarely get to do large group games since there are only four of us. That was tons of fun and got everyone really energetic and invested which was great.
We then ditched and started script work. We started working on the latter portion of the show just to mix things up. IT WAS GREAT! I liked watching because they are beginning to get a grasp for who they are. They are all making really strong choices which is beautiful to see. They just grow up so quickly... I definitely want to keep working on escalating the intensity level on the last few pages. I think the fast escalation will be really funny.
