Rasa Boxes / Theater Exercise

This is a good  exercise. A Rasa Box is like a tic tac toe grid drawn on the floor of the stage. Each square of the grid represents one of the essences of Rasa theory our speaker spoke of: Comic, heroic, fearful, etc. 

Perhaps some of you could make use of it.

This video highlights  Rasa box exercises conducted by Richard Schechner at the University of Kent. 2011.

Our Theater program did a play at my school last year that used this structure with good results. It was a a series of 9 short skits, each based on each one of the essences (or boxes).
