Here are a couple of photos from yesterday's class. We're doing a few different attitude walks, like an angry stomp, or in this case a happy strut. I'm trying to get them to learn the feel of weight shifting, posture and what various body parts are doing.
In many cases, this just loosens them up a bit and they have some fun acting silly. However, an added bonus here is to feel less stupid doing something you normally wouldn't do in front of others. Insider's tip: Sometimes, that doesn't quite work. The other day, when I was practicing these walks to demonstrate to the class, I was practicing in front of the mirror in the public bathroom. I stopped my walking just as the person turned the corner...disaster averted, right? Wrong! Now I'm just a creepy guy, loitering in the men's bathroom. He happened to be an animator, so I made it into a positive.
