Okay so here's a post that could count for both a stage combat insight and a movement insight. We were talking in stage combat last time about attacking from different parts of the body and I started looking for what part of the body people used to lead when they talk and I noticed that when I'm at work and I half to give someone bad news like, "No I'm sorry, food isn't allowed in the theatre." I put my shoulders forward and tuck in my chest like when we had to receive an attack from the chest in class. It's like I'm conceding power even though I'm enforcing a rule. I've also noticed that when people are annoyed they pop their hip at me. I'm not sure what's up with that because usually the pelvis expresses a base desire, but the hip pop isn't a sexual thing, it's like a weird condescending attack. I'll have to think about that one.
