This friday we had a class of physical work, but this time it was different, or should i say harder, as we started working with a more advanced kind of physical work and trust exercises. We tried some more difficult lifting, which i didn't see so hard, but still... we had to do it perfect ( which we couldn't ).
To do this exercises we need coordination, control of our body, especially our centre of energy, and, of course trust, as we could hurt each other.
One of the exercises consisted of someone standing on his hands and being puled by someone else standing on his feet, to reach the other side standing, or to stay on top of the other one. That one i found easy, but the next one, in which we had to balance someone on top of us with out feet, i couldn't achieve.
The day before doing this exercises we saw a video about an actress that told her experience in physical training and revealed some her "her professional secrets", which we were supposed to take and put in practice, and i actually did found it useful for our physical training.
Is there a BEST way of doing physicall work or it depends on the actor and his body?
A superficial entry. Try to go further with your reflections. Make connections between the different aspects of theatre that you are learning, and between theory and practice. The answer to your final question is obvious, and it is therefore a weak final question.
