This week we had two residential actors run our group with the emphasis on improvisation and focus. The exercises were difficult taking some of us out of our comfort zone but in the end very benefial to the development of ourselves as actors. We ended with a crazy dance in a circle. Which was great fun.

"This week we had a session on groups in society. This could be chav groups, emo groups, just all groups in all shapes and sizes. We worked with actresses from upcoming play “IPH”, that includes a group of girls. The main exercise of the night was to make up our own groups and do an improvisation. The leaders chose the scenes, we chose how to act inside of them. This resulted in some very decent scenes, including a never-ending McDonalds scene: only the Mercury Youth Theatre could you go from ordering a "happy" meal to ending up exiting the building because of a bomb scare!It was a really cool session!
