We have studied the stage types, stage parts and the body positions that help us communicate the story with our movements. Now, it is time to add blocking to the emotional life of the character. This destination is a place that will begin to equip us with the basic tools of acting. Tools that take a lifetime to master. However, every student no matter how young or old must start somewhere. We will begin exploring this world through the experiences of other performers. We will listen and glean from their failures and successes.
