This past week, the Spiritus crew spoke about a variety of elements in theatre, like scenes, setting, and character. After a short discussion, theatre workshop leader, Sarah El Raheb, revealed a little trick about getting under the skin of a character: A truly good character comes to life through the unshared elements found in their respective back-stories.
In other words, their secrets! To practice this method, the class was divided into groups of two. Each group selected a “secret” written on a slip of paper to perform in front of their peers. The trick? The actors must perform the secret without explicitly revealing it to the audience! Think you can do it?
Check out the website that inspired this activity, here.
Highlights from last weeks workshop!
