1. Introduction: Hello everyone. My name is Tessa. Welcome to the
performance class. We'll examine our
body movements, will practice stopping,
looking and breathing. We'll begin a journey to
the source of our actions. Talks inhibit you
in performances. In general, preventing
you from moving freely. How can you act
without thinking? But within the concept, how much can you trust your
body to direct motion? I'll teach you the
spatial points in your body that will open
your movement channels. By activating these points, we'll try to make
our bodies free. At the end of this lesson, you'll have a set
of exercises that I think will be useful
for your performance. As you do these exercises
and improvisations, You can have a more flexible
and open buddy day by day. I use some of the exercises I gave you in my workouts
every morning. When you do these
works regularly, you'll see that
your body's range of motion gradually expands. Let's get started.
2. Breath: Yes, we are starting our lesson. We run where we are. We are swinging. We shake our bodies, warm our bodies, our hands, and the arms are comfortable. Our head is relaxed. Let's run at a slow
pace where we let our arms more freely that
the source of movement, your torso, not your arms. Let's do what we want to do now. Little jumps, Shakes. That's surprise ourselves. Let's keep rocking where we are. Let's stop. Now.
Take a deep breath and blow into one spot. Set a point before you. Let's blow our breadth
in a line to that point. Now take a deep
breath, 12345678. Now we send the breath, we take a cross as
a line, 12345678. Let's take a deep breath. We send our breadth across
as if whistling in one line. Let's take a deep breath. Why breathing? We opened our arms and gathered the energy around
us into our bodies. We have our counting about
the body and arms are pulled up as if we reach up to the collective
barriers on the branches. Then released from the waist up, if it's low and swing down. The feet, knees
and hips carry us. Swinging from the
waist up to the floor. The pelvis is
holding our bodies. The upper part of our
body is very comfortable. We left the back, arm and neck muscles relaxed. Now we are going
up eight counts. The body stands up, right? We are swinging, likely. Let's do this exercise again. Stretched up, the lay down. We let ourselves down. We got up at eight counts. Standstill. Let's
balance the posture. Let's feel like there
are two ropes on the top of our hat,
right and left. Now, imagine they are pulling
us up from these ropes. Right up, left up. This movement will
keep our next upright. If you keep your next trait, your body will adapt
to a large extent. That's great. Let's
fill our Brad, feel our whole body. Let's relax. Let's take out our tongues, MOD open, tongue out. We are breathing fast. Our breeding. She'll be like a dog's breathing while doing this exercise. Feel the movement of
your diaphragm muscle. Place your hand on your stomach. Dog breeding
stabilizes the breath. Actors and performance
artists use this exercise to develop their diaphragm
muscles and breathing. You can do this exercise to regulate breathing
and relax the body. Don't think about anything
while doing these exercises. Focus on being called. Proceed slowly and stop when
you feel that is enough. Let's take a deep
breath. Arms up. As we exhale. We let go of the arms.
3. Key points: Now we'll massage some points on your body that I'll show you. Let's start with our phase
for hat, temples, chin. Now let's start massaging
behind our ears. We massage the parts behind
our ears with two fingers. Nerves that sent to our face and body pass
through this part of our hat. Let's lose in these
areas a soft massage. Don't press too
hard, do it gently. Let's move the message to arts. The jaw muscles with soft and circular
movements are posterior, should always be upright. Let's work our next bit. I looked right. I looked across. My neck is straight and relaxed. I looked right. I looked across. I identify two points directly
opposite and to the left. And look at those
points each time. Let's not forget to breathe. In this study, Let's do a little jumps and savings
and runs where we are now. Lets free our arms. Now. We arise our arms in the
air and take a deep breath. At the end of the brat, let our arms remain open to the sides perpendicular
to our body. Let's stay in this
position for awhile. Don't forget to breathe. We may feel as if there are
two wolves left and right, and we are pushing them
with both our arms. The arms should be straight. Now, let's relax our bodies with light savings
and the little jams. Let's loosen our arms. Now. Let's take a deep breath
and repeat the work. Now, I'm going to
show you two points. The points where our
arms meet our torso. We'll massage these muscles
that remain in the p.stance. Let's relax the muscles here. We can press these
points with two fingers. Let's massage these points. Let's leave the arms to relax. Let's leave the body to relax. If you feel like your mean. Yammering relaxes the body. Another spot is somewhere
in the middle of our chest. We call this point the eye
point. Now that's fine. The eye point will massage
this point with two fingers. When you press lightly
on this point, you'll feel something different than when you touch
other places. Let's press it lightly and let's give a light
massage to this point. Now, we move on to another
exercise on the arms or the hands are next to the pelvis with the
palms facing up. The movement starts
with the hand. The hand moves up
by rotating around itself as if carrying a tray, turns over r hat and comes
back to where it was, don't do it fast, like me right now. Do it slowly. And first, figure out what
kind of movie this is.
4. Balance & action: We'll work a little on
the balance of our body. Let's write a little barrier. Now. We'll do a study showing the relation
of balance with feet. Let's lean against
the wall so that our feet waste back
and had touch. Our feet, touch the ground
from the heel to the toe. Now, we slowly lift
our toes and try to put all our weight
on the heels bilayer. As soon as we do this, our body will
quickly go forward. Now, let's practice
some walking. Our hands are free. Let swing a little. Let's walk now. That's not forget to read. We are walking comfortably, our hats are high and
our eyes are open. We are open to
everything around us. Let's feel that the soles of our feet are in full
contact with the ground. From the heels to the toss. Let's walk by feeling the place. Let's rise, are nice as
if pulling on a string. Let's put our hands on the pelvis with the
palms facing down. Let's do the pandemic in bulk. Let's swing where we are
now. That's relaxed. Our arms are chin and
neck are comfortable. If you want to warm, your neck. Never turned it full circle. Move it very slowly in a
semicircle on the back. In our current
exercise, we do this. I heard and looked
here and look. I heard and looked. Now, let's add this. I heard and looked. And I went there. Here. Look, go. There must be clarity
between actions. We are breathing now. Let's find our balance. In the current exercise, we see something and catch it. It could be a tennis
ball or anything. You'll see something moving in the air coming towards you. I saw it and called it. The act of seeing and
grabbing must be clear. I saw it and got it. Let's play it. I looked and I looked
and went 1212. Let's watch our bread. Now. Let's practice
falling and getting up. We'll slowly lower our
bodies to the ground. Let's draw up ourselves to
the ground like a puppet. Let's do it slowly
in a controlled way. Absorbing the shapes
our body enters. When getting up, Get up as if the ropes are pulling
you up on your hat? We get up slowly observing our every move as if they
were pulling us up. Let's turn straight now. Let's relax now. Let's move freely.
5. Play emotions: We'll work on emotions. We'll choose an emotion
and follow that emotion. We'll leave our bodies
to that feeling. E.g. the emotion I
choose right now is boredom and unhappiness. I surrender myself
to these feelings. I observe my breeding and what the emotion
does to my body. Don't play any
character or type. You are not showing
anyone anything. We try to determine the
reactions of our body to emotions as if we were
observing in a laboratory. We observe ourselves. What happens when emotion
takes over the body? What is changing inside me? Don't just do, do
whatever you want. Let the vibrations
come from within you. E.g. what I have
observed in myself so far is that the emotion I
choose makes me introverted. I'm closed. I'm an introvert now. Now let's choose a nice emotion. Let's work on happiness,
excitement, and joy. What's going on inside of me? What's going on inside of us? Let's go after the vibrations
that the emotions we choose to create in
our body as energy. My body is more open now, you can transfer in
RG from the palm of your hand to your face as if the sun was
shining on your face. Let's follow the energy of our chosen emotions
and observe ourselves. Let's improvise. That's free. Our bodies. Remember the points are
shoved, you stay straight. Now let's move on
to another emotion. Let's expereince a
high emotion now, e.g. we got angry and around crazy. The energy has accumulated
and is spreading around. Strong and sharp
movements may come. Work carefully and controlled. Observe this flow of energy
radiating out of you. In the study after the emotion reached its peak
and decline begins. This fall affects my body both energetically
and physically. Let's breathe. Counting to ten. Let's get to neutral. You can set imaginary points to hold on to in performance. Don't forget to breathe. I don't think thinking is
very useful in performance. Improvisations. First, listen to your
body than think. Take action first. Talked, hinder
you, put barriers. Your body should
follow a vibration that radiates outward
from within you. Remember, you can feed
your body by loving it. You can feed your soul
by loving yourself. Now, we finish our lesson with the exercise of
putting on a jacket. We were all jackets
like we are surfing. I hope it was enjoyable and productive
lesson for you as well. Thank you for being with
me on this journey. Take care of yourselves. See you later.
