acting session thoughts

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!
