Individuals send sound and get it to land on an object across the room. Watch for physical involvement with the sound production. More than asking to speak up, this exercise asks you to make the sound LAND. Words travel with impact.
FOCUS On keeping the sound in space and letting it land--in a fellow player or on an object and ultimately to an audience. This exercise is not in the main book, but added in Theater Games for the Lone Actor. Note it works best when the body is involved.
Sidecoaching: Send the sound forth! Extend it. Let it land! Keep the sound in space! Slowww Motion!
Do not be concerned if a student seems to be straying far from your idea of what should be happening to him or her. When students trust the scheme and have pleasure in what they are doing, they will give up the bonds that keep them from release and full response.
