The senses are used to build trust between a group of people. By closing your eyes you allow yourself to trust your partner more. Jet pack lift is another way to build trust in an ensemble. You trust in your group or partners to carry you and to work together to create a theatrical illusion. Also, Walking on the wall is an exercise that could be used for a theatrical illusion.

final exam reflection

i
I really enjoyed acting out the Zanni from commedia del arte, even though it is very tiering it is very fun. We acted out a one minute scene and we felt our hearts beating so fast because of how exhausting it is. We were very nervous at the start, my voice was shaky and i got nervous but after that i felt more comfortable and I relied on my knowledge. It was a very fun experience and Im happy I could do it again in the "Remake" to make it better from the feedback we got in class and from the emails!
