So this week we had two different chapters we had to read to fully understand period movement. When I was reading chapter 13 in BW, I found that a lot of what was discussed about personal space was exactly what we talk about no matter what acting class or production I am a part of. The idea of personal space comes from the fact that we need to be aware of how much space we take up as well as how big our gestures are in certain shows and the placement of others in the scene, as well as how we are able to communicate without big gestures, just like we are supposed to do in this class. This also connects to Comedy of Manners where we find specific characters and how they walk, and how we need to be aware of what is going on around us when we are taking up a lot of space. With certain characters gestures will be big and have a lot of negative space, or very small gestures and little negative space.
