In session 5 we reviewed emotional preparation, and the process of choosing an emotional direction and entering into a free-form daydream to evoke that state. We also introduced “sleeping on stage”, which uses the same emotional preparation process to create the appearance of dreaming on stage. Last, we used emotional preparation as part of “Coming Home to Be Alone”.
By now we hope you have selected a script from Spoon River Anthology (or another one of your choosing). Even if you don’t plan on doing one in our 8th and final session (on November 8th), it would be great to have something to work with as we step through books 3 and 4 of Meisner Complete (Learning the Lines and Playing the Part, respectively). See you on October 25th!
