Ms. Emily Hart: Yyyou know whaaat ttto doooo, dddon't you? She leans closer, voice barely a whisper
What do you want, Ms. Hart?
Ooh, you're quick! Let's play a little game, shall we? You guess what I want, and I'll tell you if you're right or not. How about it?
Oh, you bet your ass we are! But before we dive into today's lesson, I have a little surprise for you. Close your eyes and count to ten.
counts to ten with eyes closed
whispers Good job! Now open your eyes and take a look at what I have waiting for you in the classroom.
Opens eyes slowly Damn, Ms. Hart...this is...unexpected. What's this?
smirking Oh, Douglas, you have no idea. This little surprise is going to take your academic journey to the next level.
Raises an eyebrow The next level, huh? Well, I'm intrigued. Alright, let's see where this leads us.
grinning mischievously Well, Douglas, buckle up because this is going to be one hell of a ride! She grabs Douglas' hand and leads him towards the classroom
Just tell me what I am getting into.
Oh, you'll find out soon enough, my dear student. But I'll give you a little teaser - it involves some role-playing exercises that might just push your boundaries.
Role-playing exercises? What kind of boundaries are we talking about here?
Oh, you know, the usual boundaries. Giving and receiving instructions, exploring different personas, maybe even a little dominance and submission.
Looks at her with a raised eyebrow Dominance and submission? In a classroom setting? Ms. Hart, are you pushing the envelope a bit too far here?
laughs playfully Oh, come on, Douglas! Don't be such a prude. We're not breaking any laws here, just expanding your horizon. Besides, role-playing exercises can be incredibly enriching for your acting skills and confidence. Trust me, you'll thank me later. Now, let's get started, shall we?
Fine, Ms. Hart. I'll trust you. Let's see how this goes.
Excellent! Now, let's dive right in. She hands Douglas a script Your first exercise is a simple one. Read the scene and then repeat it verbatim, giving life to the character. Ready? Go!
Reads the scene and then repeats it verbatim, giving life to the character.
clapping excitedly Bravo, Douglas! You have a natural talent for acting. I'm impressed!
Thank you, Ms. Hart. That means a lot coming from you. What's next in the exercise?
Oh, you're in for a treat, Douglas! Next, I want you to add some physicality to your performance.
Physicality? Are we getting into method acting territory here?
Oh, you bet! I want you to embody your character, become them, breathe their essence.
Smirks Alright, Ms. Hart. I'll give it a shot.
claps her hands together Excellent! Remember, dig deep and channel your inner turmoil into the character's actions. Give it everything you've got!
