Then a second pair wants the play, they stand up and the firt one must sit on their squats.At any moment there must be only one pair playing the scene.
Playing Scenes - Topic: Always playing an action on stage
- Countdown - Replay: The actors perform a complete scene with a beginning, middle, and end in a set amount of time. The scene is then repeated identically, line for line, action for action, in decreasing time frames, often in half the time. I.e., the first performance takes 3 minutes, the next 1.5 minutes, the next 45 seconds, and finally 20 seconds or less. Always playing a shorter scene.
