- breaking the rules of good story-telling sometimes really works.
- Don't engage all the audience,
- don't really know what happens next,
- don't get to the ending,
- don't make it believable,
- don't even believe it yourself,
- mock it,
- hesitate,
- read it from a phone neutrally
- emphasize all the 'wrong' words
- don't say what you really mean

what can that teach you about acting?
How did the quality of your listening change as audience?

I feel the difference in delivery between our folk and personal tales varied. we are emotionally attached to our own lives and the events which we experienced, this can make it hard, finding difficulty in keeping the audiences attention. Were as folk tales have a real message hidden in the mystical scenarios, which are relevant to peoples lives and talk about trouble in human nature.
ReplyDeleteThis shows that a wide range of acting and devising techniques can lead to a piece of performance that is polished and interesting. for example, taking the stories from our own lives and re-working them to meet the fantasy and deepness of a folk tale. i feel this could lead to a fantastic piece of theatre that has a personal level to it.
My quality of listening did not change rapidly, i was listening to how different people using different story telling devices to keep our attention as a group, victors great description and dialogue devices were different to Jordan's mellow and low approach, both worked fantastically, but it was interesting to notice the subtle differences in the group.
This make me see the importance of listening as a group of actors, that we are a team we can work together and can use both listening and story telling devices to full effect and keep the audience attentive and indulged
