Out Damn Spot

We started this class the same way we have been, with word association. Word association lets us let go and act on impulse; lets us play. Like children. Acting should be play and this ‘game’ lets us enter the mindset of kids.

Unfortunately, I don’t remember what else happened in this class, except the end (or maybe we worked on it so long that it really was the only thing we did?) when we worked on the nothing scenes.

My partner was James, who I might add is fantastic (I am obsessed with the Sheaf, haha). The nothing scene we decided one was the second one, because that was the only one James knew, and I sort of forgot the first one.

We played with the scene a lot, just trying out different variations on a similar idea. Like, first I was getting chased, and then my dad was chasing me, and then I ran past my dad upset and that’s why he chased me.

We made wonderful use of the door. There was this one line where he asked me if I wanted some Aspirin. I opened the door (he was on the other side) stuck my head out and said, “No. Don’t be so helpful OK?” and then I slammed it shut. James almost got his finger caught a few times. Raymon was worried, haha.

Then James started to bleed mysteriously. And that’s all I remember
