ANIMAL WORK: CLASS SYNOPSIS
Since there are so many animal characters in our summer shows, we decided to focus our class on a theater technique called animal work. Cast and crew alike are researching different animals’ psychology and physicality so that we can use the research to act like animals and eventually apply our animal-mimicry skills to our plays.
