Skills Lab:Environment and Objects

This Lab will focus on building an environment for your scene through the use of mimed objects and activity. Every scene takes place somewhere, and the environment has just as much of an impact on the story as your characters. Practice grounding yourself in a location, practice creating objects, and watch the difference in your work. No special expertise in mime is required.
