In this lesson we focused again on telling stories. We had extra focus on movement. How we move and speak and how the audience can relate to it. We  also played a storytelling game which was really fun. Basically the teacher stood at the front and called out an age. For example pre school age up to the age of around 80 years old. So we had to basically tell a story, a story made up on the spot, so this also helped us with our improvisation skills, I also found that I was good at this, because I was confident in my movement and the way I was telling the story.  the teacher would change the age of who we are telling it to. So therefore we had to change the way we moved and spoke to fit the specific age group. I found this very fun but difficult. Because it's so hard to hold an entertaining story about flying dragons to sixth form boys, or elderly people. So it was challenging. We also had Toby stand at the front of the room and tell a story. Whilst he was telling it. The rest of the class had to improvise and create a movement that fit the story. This also helped our improvisation skills through movement. So I think this lesson was mostly focused on improvisation skills. And I feel it has improved my acting on many ways. I can now think of things on the spot quickly. Which will really help me when it comes to devising pieces.
