Mime Workshop 4

Sorry about the lateness. Anyway, on Friday we continued on with our final project. I wrote a bit about how we are using the concept of metamorphosis and rituals to create a little skit. We are still working with that idea. We practiced what we did on Tuesday and added to the beginning and end of it. There really is no order for what we are doing. I don't want to give too much away, so I'll just leave it at that. We had a bit of a problem determining how the skit would flow. If we keep it too connected it becomes a plot. Greg showed us that if we transition with a single person, then the audience follows that person, and by doing so, create a story for him/her. We learned to avoid that by using what he calls "whips", which could be spinning around or putting the focus on someone else. LIke the way whips were used to change scenes in "Star Wars".
