This exercise focuses on mirroring emotions rather than just actions. It is designed for use after students have a solid understanding of the basics, particularly Where, Who, and What. The goal is to help actors eliminate their inner critic and engage deeply with their scene partners.
Students will perform a scene that involves personal relationships, ensuring minimal movement to facilitate better observation of emotions. Suggested scenarios include intimate settings like:
- Sweethearts at a drive-in movie
- Husband and wife working on a budget late at night
