Dynamic Movement

Adding dynamic movements to my performance has been really wonderful with my memorization, as well as with the presentation of the story. I really think that it adds so much to the emotions of the scenes - really driving certain points home. I also think that everyone else had very successful performances that really connected with the original speaker of the story, an important aspect that seems much more easily lost without the movement of the speakers. Mimicking facial expressions and hand motions while speaking, though small, is also extremely beneficial to me when it comes to understanding how a person feels/what emotion they are trying to convey.

I am so excited to see how these performances turn out as we progress and fine tune them. I think also that the motions will make the original storytellers feel a bit more connected to the actor - seeing themselves within another person, recreating that experience for them in a new, safe environment where they are in control.
