Shaking Up Your Rehearsal Process

I just ran into this excellent piece over at "Theatre Folk". It gives five exercises, or ways to conduct a later rehearsal which will hopefully not only help the cast understand and present the play in a more effective manner, but also be a lot of fun.

You want to use such tactics sparingly of course, but I can tell you I have been in several productions that have used some of these tactics, and I myself as a director have used the "Character Switch" idea.
