For this lesson the main focus was on breathing. The lesson objective was to control our breathing and to learn how to breathe correctly and effectively.
For the first part of this activity when had to breathe in through our nose and hold it in for 5 seconds and then release it and fold our bodies over loosely in half.
The objective was to let our lungs breathe out instead of up.
The second part of the lesson was focused on how the character walks and to understand why they walk they way they do. Sam and Lily were good particularly good at this task.
To make Lily's walk more like Mrs Linde's, she walked with a quicker pace to represent Christine's business and need to be working. She also walked with her shoulders slightly hunched over to show her opinion of herself and also how she feels she is placed in society, in a low position.
To make Sam's walk like Torvald's he led with his chin to show that Torvald is of a high status and therefore above the other characters. His steps were also wide and slow, another indication of power as he is showing the audience the stability in his life. Showing that he is well off and therefore no need to rush.
To improve my walk for Nora I would have led with the top of my head. This would align my spine and given the posture of amore confident, possibly higher class, woman. I would also have made my pace slower fore the same reasons aforementioned however I would like to keep Nora's pace faster than Torvald's, as she is more highly strung than he is, so that would should a contrast in their characters.
