Day 7 - Somebody hit the lights...

What is your favourite thing about Christmas?

Is it the little green triangles in Quality Street? Is it the way that last year the whole family ("all 22 of them"), gathered to eat around a table where the odd chair sizes meant that Granny couldn't reach her plate of pigs in blankets? 

Do you love singing Christmas songs in October? And are you of the opinion that Frozen is the best Christmas film ever? (evidently, the person who said that as the last session had never experienced the fabness that is Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone)

How do we express ourselves opinions like these to an audience? It is narrating or engaging in a conversation where we do all the talking? Simon did some great training exercises at the last session. 

The last session was mostly used as a way for the group to learn how to engage with an audience. Rather than just reading lines and returning to resting-resty-face for the rest of the performance, the group have to learn to always be engaged with the audience even when not directly having lines to read.
