Acting: Antonin Artaud/Universal language of Theatre Lesson 6







7th April

We started with Wink Murder where we all had to die really dramatically. We played this as a way of warming ourselves up. This week we had a workshop to help us get to know our new teacher. We divided into groups and developed the wink murder game and came up with a scene of one murderer that the audience wouldn’t know and had to guess. Then we would carry on with the scene until to see if the audience guess was correct or not. This was a good activity to develop our devising skills.

The last game we played was a big improvisation game where one by one we were picked to join the scene and make it bigger gradually with more and more people. We’ve often had trouble improvising as a whole group because the action changes too quickly without letting an improvised bit play itself out. So we need to work on listening to each other as a group.
