Two types of tension:
1) built up over the course of our lives
2) from circumstances we are in
An actor needs a "free body" from tension that can be used to create + experience a role-(character)
Tension; 10 cate tension
. Sub-conscious- watch yourself
. Relax
. Free imagination
Think about YOU when it come to tension and what you need to do to be relaxed in order to use your imagination. What do you do as an actor to do this? How do you prepare for a show? Breathing? Lay down? Move about? How do you prepare yourself?? Vocally?
Before a show, for instance I tend to just sit myself down in a corner and work on my breathing and going through my lines in my head. I do this to block everything out around me and it brings me into a more focussed environment where I can just be my character.
I usually hold a lot of tension in my arms and shoulders so sometimes I'll also do some shoulder role exercises and shake my arms out to release the tension.
