Eye contact, proxemics and movement

Lesson outcome

The objective for this lesson is to understand how, as actors, we can combine the use of eye contact, proxemics and movement and blocking on a stage to bring a character from a script to life and successfully communicate their character to an audience. Students will have the opportunity to add more terminology to their growing 'toolbox' of physical and vocal skills. This lesson includes some physical activity. We recommend checking with a trusted adult before starting or doing the lesson with the trusted adult nearby.
