A exercise we did today was working on giving inanimate objects personalities and attitudes. By using this we give the audience a idea of the atmosphere and mood on stage. By having a 'sad chair' it could suggest that the chair is old, mistreated and beaten up. By having a 'happy bed' it could suggest that the bed is brand new, treated well and maybe even the attitude of it's owners.
By doing this exercise i developed and understood my physicality much more, i understood how a simple droop of the head or heaviness of the arms can give a whole different picture to the audience. I thought becoming a inanimate object was challenge, let alone one with a mood. But it became much clearer how much easier I thought it would be to portray a 'sad chair'.
