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!
Everyone who involves himself or herself and responds with his or her total organism to an art form usually gives back what is commonly called talented and creative behavior. When players respond joyously, effortlessly, you will know that the theater is, then, in their very bones.
