Woops, more interesting things:
– never touch anybody with more pressure than you would touch a baby
– never touch anybody when you are playing angry
– as a character choice, play the essence of a genre – not the letter of it – ie you take the fan and the accent from Tennessee Williams play, but you don’t need all of the trappings, and can play that in any context, whatever your scene partner brings
– ways to save a scene: go to a pot (emotion, stacking, style) go to the environment
-“pick a pot” even in group scenes (you may be called upon to talk)
– Beer Shark Mice play with just tag outs “follow the joy” (Neil Flynn plays the janitor in Scrubs, and he is in Beer Shark Mice)
More Jet!
