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!
• Unless needed to solve a specific problem in a play, remembered experiences (recalls) are avoided as the group works for immediate (right now) spontaneous ones. Every individual has enough muscular memory and stored-away experience that can be used in a present-time situation without deliberately abstracting it from the total organism.
