Complicites 7 states of tension
Level 1- Barely moving
Level 2- Not doing much just slowly walking
Level 3- Wandering along not going anywhere in particular
Level 4- Normal Pace
Level 5- Walking with purpose, know where you're going
Level 6- Slightly rushed, left too late, could be late if you don't hurry
Level 7- Very rushed, definitely late, almost running
The purpose of this is to get us to analyse the way we move and associate it to a certain situation or emotion so we can replicate this when we are performing.
As an actor I found this useful as a warm up because as you go up the levels you build up energy so you're ready to start acting because if you have high energy levels it makes your piece more interesting. As a director I would use this to get the actors to focus on their own movements and how these change when you pick up speed as I think this would help when using any kind of speed change during a performance.
