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."

Having missed last week's class, Sakura is a little confused walking into class today. She whips out her staff after some hushed muttering in Japanese, just to be safe. If she's wrong, do correct her. ^_~

Zero signed in. She already had her weapon of choice, that being a neon green croquet mallet.

Hamlet signed in. He probably wouldn't be allowed his real daggers in a class like this, so he decided to go with a stage sword instead.

JD signs in with Laddie at his side. He figures that a dangerous rabid dog is a pretty good weapon. It worked for Cujo, right?
