Season 11: Weeks 17-18
Tonight we tried a traditional SIP exercise that was completely new to this ensemble: the Six Directions, which is part of Michael Chekhov’s acting technique. It is a very physical exercise, and is really helpful for engaging the body. It requires commitment and doesn’t leave much room for half measures, which was tough for some ensemble members. After we completed the exercise, we debriefed a bit, and the ensemble had some good things to say. One member said this would be helpful in “those really physical scenes. I really wanted to cling to the chair, but I got to fill the whole space.”
