Sounds like you’re having lots of fun!

I did a ‘waiting for the bus’ exercise too during acting, and it always amazed me how much more people tend to act – and act better – when they’re told to do as little as possible. It’s so true of puppetry too, and Neville Tranter’s advice last year at UNIMA 2008 was that if something is moving, the audience will notice it. In order to have the audience watching the correct object (an actor or a puppet), you must get everything else to be still. I always liked that idea, and I think a lot of puppeteers forget it.
