Chase The Ball

Learn to control the audience’s focus by becoming deliberate with your own. You will experience a series of exercises designed to hone your attention and heighten your awareness of yourself, the scene, and your ensemble as a whole. From two-person scenes to huge group scenes, you’ll know exactly what’s happening with every person on stage. Put another way: Think of the focus of a scene as a physical ball of glowing energy. If you're talking about something that's happening elsewhere, that's where the ball is. If you're discussing a past or future event, the ball has warped through time and is now there. So what do you do in a scene if the ball gets away from you? You either coax it back in, or you chase it.
