Reacting at the audience during inactive moments-- like The Office, more subtle than being direct
SPEAK TO EACH OTHER- have REAL communication!
Comedy has a foundation in human truth-- it's funny because the characters are serious in their world.
Human truth will be relevant no matter what era the play is from-- we cannot make a judgement of the character in the moment, that allows us to be superficial.
How does history of theatre influence how I play the scene?
The tensions you associate with feelings/actions in real life do not usually apply to the character!
"Emotion is not tension" - tension can be habit, fear, insecurity-- or misuse!
