Emotion Memory

In last week's lesson we were given the task of going into a familiar place and observing what was happening in this place and our body's emotional reaction to this place. I chose Starbucks as it is a place we visit often, we had to sit here for 10 mins. Really trying to observe how you react to a certain place is extremely hard to put into words, and because you are trying to look out for things, I feel you act differently to how you would under normal circumstances. Although, being aware of yourself and others is an extremely important part of being a performance, as being in a state of readiness and awareness are key concepts of actor training.
