We started today with a discussion of the different ways to say these words - and the different meanings you could create with your voice. After that, we acted out a series of scenes using the same script, but different characters. We discussed how various factors influence the meaning of the words:
- Voice - tone, pace, volume, emotion, inflection, accent, enunciation
- Body - facial expressions, body movements, characters moving around the space and in relation to each other
- Space - Props, setting, scenery, furniture
- Characters - how they see themselves / how others seen them
Then it was time for our first look at Oedipus. We read the first 13 lines of the play carefully, moving toward an explication of it.
