Breathing and action excercise

In the first class of  the weekend we continued with the breathing exercise. This time it was hardness because we had to make sounds we didn't even knew existed. In my case i had to make the sounds of drops falling to a metal, i couldn't think about a sound with my vocal cords that could make it.
Trying and trying I make it but it was very hard to make a sentence with the sound.
Lastly i was en charged of making the sound of a mother lion and i couldn't make it with my vocal cords.
I kept trying but at the end i found it very hard.
I have to practice in this exercise, because in my opinion this helps me to create new voices for new characters.
Dont you think so?

On the next class we made an excercise work that consisted in balancing the space in different levels, actions or doing different sounds. The hardest excercise was the one i had to transport by the slowest level because it considered doing the most effort,
But, class didnt end there, we had to convine this actions with our friends and stop when someone start making his action. This helped us to coordinate ourselfs and take the idea that me are a team and we have to work together like we do in plays. Because, when you act you depend on the other persons.
And at the end we made the excercise of the chakra and we had to feel it and permit the energy to guide us and transmite us.
It was difficult because i didnt follow the direction of the energy recieved and it was a big problem.

What did this energy helped me to? I mean.. i understand what everything else helped me but this?
Im confused.

  1. Your last question was already answered in class. A play is not about moving and repeating lines, it is about making the energy flow within you, with your fellow actors and with the audience. Without it there's no play. So this exercise helps you get used to the idea of letting a force that is bigger than you take its own direction and flow without having to force it into what you want. During a play you need to know how to let the energy flow, how to receive and give energy.

    It's good to put a picture for every entry because it helps you remember what it is about.
