1 to 10 small to big

this exersize consisted of playing and creating a series of movements and making them grow or decrease in size.
for example we started by creating a repeatable movement of eating a meal mine was a burger and chips we then did this naturalisticly this was 5 the mid point.
we then adapted this on a bigger scale as if the food was ginormas this was 10, feeling the difference between 10 and 5 showed me the individual motions of eating my chosen meal.
we then started from 5 again and went down the scale to 1 until our food was minute showing us the detail of each movement used in the process of eating this meal and making the most of each movement.

in terms of applying this when i come to devise my physical theatre piece i can use this to develop movements through travelling at a 10 or to create a contrast with minute movements at a 1 which could be used to represent a thinking process or 10 to be used to replicate fast passed or slow staggered movement.

we then further adapted this exercise with reactions to another character facing someone else both using opposite ends of the movement scale we then added an action or line of noticing another character entering the room i found when acting at a stage 10 i found myself struggling to say high making the situation grotesque although when applying that to a smaller size i found myself being selfish and angry towards the character facing me.
