sidestretch 

This was by far the most useful rehearsal teqnique we used for the play, it put all of us in the zone and the mindset to get on the play, i aslo feel as it helped alot as it connected us as we did it at the start of the lesson at the start of every enron rehearsal. the first thing we would do was get into warrior pose and this was having a straight back with bent knees and arm streched we would then stretch to either side in a count of 8, point are bodies in a diagonal shape and get down to pushup position then roll slowly on to are backs and lift our arms and legs in sort of a dead creature shape. we would then lower them and roll over to our front would then stretch are arms lifting our bodies up so there where in a sort of curved position and then look to side to side with dead eyes, this real helped i feel especially with the people who played the raptors. after that we would go in prayer position and very slowly sit up on are knees, this is what i feel was the really crucial part as the next part was when we all stood up individually when you felt the moment was right, after everyone was stood up we would then wait for the director to shout huh and we would all try to respond at the same time even though it is practaly impossible we wanted to see how far we could go with it, the excersise changed whilst going further with the rehearsal process as instead for been saying huh we would all say it collectively.

another warm exercise we did was walking in the space whilst saying flat back and wide in  an american accent and every now and then you would stop bend you knees but your hands um and letting out an ah sound it had to sort of be a natural sound so there shouldnt be any restraining i felt this was a really useful teqnique because it was an easy and simple way to warm up our american accents and get us into character.
