Speaking with the body

Fellow speaker,

Use these "body connection" to make sure your stories are effective with your audience:
  • Action in the story guides your movement on stage
  • Begin and end your stories from center stage
  • Position each character in your story in a certain place onstage
  • Use places on stage other than left, middle, right
  • Talk "out of scene" by stepping forward, out of the story to make asides to audience, then stepping back into the story
Invent some more on your own!

Using the body,

Tim
