Kate, my teacher at Studio Theatre, called me up to give me my first homework assignment for the first class next week. My assignment is a 3 minute pantomime, with a distinctive beginning, middle, and end, focusing on one of the five senses."

It was exactly exercises like this that kept me far, far away from such classes for so many years. Now I am receptive and open-minded (well, more so anyway) and very willing to do this. I just still don't have the faintest bloody idea what to do or where to begin even thinking of such a thing.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Still haven't heard back from Gary regarding Grad School.

ah, theatre exercises. takes me back...
My first thought was also an every day activity. How many steps to get out of bed in the morning? Cook breakfast? Put sunscreen on? Step in the gum in the crosswalk and then get it off your shoe?
There's a great play by Kathy Najimy and Mo Gaffney called "Parallel Lives", I believe. It's a sequence of short sketches and one is an entirely pantomimed routine of a woman getting ready for the day (showering, shaving, plucking, make-up, the whole nine yards...). It's a fabulous show. I highly recommend it.
Break a leg!
