How do we generate material?
Often, the actors are given a broad task: create the scene where two characters we've been exploring meet, create the scene where they share their first meal, create the scene when they get into their first argument, etc. The actors take a few minutes to plan and then share what they've made with the group. We all watch, take notes, and discuss after. See us crowding in the entrance of Drama Book Shop to watch Lizzy Poleski and Zach Lundin share a meal behind glass:

Sometimes, we pause these types of scenes to give specific adjustments. Hear Garrett Blair give adjustments to Jamie Bock as she plays someone with some serious OCD. (Apologies for the shaky camera.)
