Bill sadly had to miss our class today, so we had a substitute. The entire class we basically just ran openings and full Harolds - so I will cut to the chase and focus on the notes that were given to us (and that I gleamed myself from watching and listening).
Form is meant to make your life easier.
After you know the basic structure pick the elements you like - best poets create their own poem styles, best performers do the same.
There should be no time limit on your show.
Do something Fun for you.
Give whatever you're doing some emotional context.
Should never be any dead time - either in he opening or between scenes.
Everything said should be inspired by the last thing your partner said: LISTEN & Build.
Find themes in your opening.
DON'T HESITATE.
If you hate what you're doing on stage, either evolve it into something else or recommit and do it more.
Harolds crave strong initiations.
Stay active in your openings - don't just sit back and watch.
Organic openings are all about mirroring and supporting people's moves.
Steal what you like from teams you admire.
Don't try to be funny.
