One of these exercises we done during the rehursal process was "Tension States":
- This exercise requires the actor to read through the monologue to firstly become familiar with the text after a breif warm up
- Next use the full space of the room your are rehursing in by standing at the far end
- Next the actor needs to read through the monolgoue but now thinking more indeapthly about the specific words being spoken and mainly the reasoning behind why the character would be saying these words and finally the emotion the text would be portreyed in
- Now to apply this exercise to tension states the actor will walk across the room reading aloud the monologue but using levels to show the heights of tension.
- For example at low tension the actor will be low to the floor and at the highest tension the actors will be streached as tall as they can be.
Reading each line then walking across the room using height and levels to show the amount of tension
90 degreese right turns as the end of each sentance to emphasis tension
