Basic Acting, 11/21
The classroom had been laid out with mats and such around the room, and there were a variety of weapons and diagrams on using said weapons lying about.
Not a single one of the weapons was real.
"Okay, guys, time for part two of the stage combat section of the class. Last week we did unarmed combat, this week? Armed. We have cap guns, stage swords, foam billyclubs. . . . as well as women's shoes and a silver tea tray. All of these things can be deadly weapons, so please handle them with care. You get injured or dead and you fail for today, got it? I want you guys to group or pair up, grab a weapon of choice, take a few minutes to get the feel for it, look over the diagrams in how to use it on stage, and go to it." Daisy listed off a lot of safety precautions, just in case. She didn't want any spontaneous graveling creations in her class.
"Perhaps one of the greatest things you can do as an actor is play out a good death scene, so I also want you to 'kill' each other in these fights today. Try your hand at being Pyramus and/or Thisbee, and give yourself a great, tragic death. Make me cry, folks."
