Working with Dan

Today, a few of us came in to work on some scenes with the help of Dan. (tall one, not lil Dan with the 'tash).
I found it so helpful, to not only work on my scene but watch others and see the techniques he used, such as what he did with Alex, I think Hania and I might have a go at to find more gestures that can be used with mood changes in our scene. And the way he worked with Shaun and his monologue, was brilliant. He made me connect to something personal, and work off script for a bit, which made him use the words that were more desciptive and had more feeling in them.
The scene Hania and I worked on with dan, which was unit 3, there is a video on our facebook page, so you guys can see what we've done, which I'm sure will develop over the next weej or so, using more people etc. Today's workshop lesson really benefitted those who came, so hopefully when we do the same next week, more people will be able to come, and we can work on their scenes, as I think it's great to throw the ideas about, and even if it gets slightly changed it helps you get to know not only the scene, but your characters better, and create a back story for them.
