Rubber Room #4: the Fourth Kind

February 10, 2011 9:30pm show

Larissa:    Erin Hadley
Alan:       Ben Sumrall
Sinclair:    John Brady
Daytona:   Denise Nolan
Patti:       Allison Goldberg

Improvisation.  Not with words, but actions.  It happened in Performance #2 as well -- highlighted by the snapping of a writing implement.  The snappee was suitably astonished.

This group was mobile, as in performance #3.  Now a veteran of three performances, I noticed how much improvisation there was here, and how it seemed to feed on itself.  One improvisation engenders another.  

So an expression of anger is underlined when an object is thrown.  Some do it with just words; others go further, just like real life.

I was impressed by certain physical movements.   How is it possible that one can make a greater impact on the group by moving away from the group to deliver a brief monologue?  I saw it happen.
