Assignment 6 -
Animate your piece of clay being trapped between sliding walls that are closing. Be creative!
The walls can change tempo and close slowly, then quickly, then close multiple times in a row. How does your character react to each situation physically and emotionally? How much force does it take to keep the walls open? Push them apart after they've closed? How does this affect the character's balance? Where is the line of action? Where is the character's weight? Where is this weight coming from? Where is it traveling over? Where is it transferring to?
Remember, your clay and your walls are characters! How did your character get into this situation in the first place? Were they just standing there? Did the ground suddenly open up? You can use as many walls as you wish, but you must have at least two.
