Week #2: The Sounds of Silence (corny, I know)

This week we did two class activities concerning silence. In one, we worked on the development of tension, in the other we focused on a major status change. What did silence teach you as directors? What did it teach you as actors? You may take this entry down any path you pick, or follow another line of conversation altogether. Enjoy!

Week #1: What is good directing? 

Think about this question and answer with some clear examples from experiences you have had in the past. When you're ready, hit "comment" and write 200 words or more on the topic. Remember, you can also tackle another topic of your choice or start a new thread for your classmates altogether! Have fun and be critical!
