Lundi 12 octobre/Jocelyn

English Theatre lesson called: « The body Language »

We first talked about poetry, about going or not to the “Club des Poètes” from December to tell poems. It has been decided that we should first go and see the place before any decision.
Nevertheless, all of us must bring a poem for next time.

After the (usual ?) circle to create a continuity with what happened during the day for each of us, we started talking about music, and the CD we had brought (Eagles: “Hotel California); “My baby don’t care “; The Pogues; Nick Cave …).

First exercise with songs chosen by Anna: one person starts doing movements and another one (or several one) imitates this person. Then, after a while, and without any spoken words, the person who was imitating becomes the leader, and so on …..

Second music exercise
When Annah puts a CD on, the person who brought the song starts to move (slow movements are easier to copy) and all the other persons do the same movements. Sometime, Anna stops the music and we are asked to go on singing, tapping and dancing ….

Third music exercise
we tried to improvise on a song some/all of us knew, trying to create different sounds with our body, our environment...

Last exercice: the photographer
Two groups and 5 shots to create a story

First group : the story of the houses of the 3 little pigs
Second group : a story in a zoo

For next monday: a poem!!
