- There is so much I've learned from my brief encounter with Mr. Foley, particularly when it came to performing Shakespeare. I tried to keep his lessons in mind during the performance of Romeo & Juliet.
- The importance of vocalization; warm-ups, enunciation, and projection
- The musicality of Shakespearean language
- Awareness of the body; especially in physical scene
- the safety of the partner(s) is of the highest priority, above all else
- it is all in the effect produced, not the actual means; no need to actually punch someone to make something seem realistic
- hair pulling; slap; punch
- basic stick-fighting
Chad Austin
- A unique personality; I took notes on his character for future reference.
- Of the lessons he gave, I found particular value in his 'interview' exercise
- first impression is important
- it is very difficult to be yourself and confident
- nerves come when you least expect them, so always be prepared
