Acting Class

Today in our class (after a short game of "ninja" as seen above) we were working on status, and how to portray characters of different status. This began with walking around the room, first as someone of high status and then someone of low status. We were then paired off, and given scenes to act out such as: a father telling his son he was adopted, a teacher confronting a student about some disrespectful notes, and a singer requesting her concert pianist write her new music. Each of these were acted out with one character of a higher status than the other, before the roles were switched to see how the scene would play out differently.
