Creating Chorus with Aline David | Pace Exercise | National Theatre

In the final part of this collection, Aline David takes a group of actors through pace exercises, and shows how changes in speed can be a tool to isolate important characters. Aline also demonstrates how movement direction can shift the audience's focus to suit the demands of the play.
PLEASE NOTE: Not all movement exercises are suitable for everyone and this or any other movement exercise may result in injury. To reduce the risk of injury, never force or strain, use the exercises only as intended and demonstrated, and follow all instructions carefully.

Excellent exercise; especially how they managed to take their shoes off and put them on again in the middle of the first warm up!

This seems a lot like a Viewpoints-basses approach playing with the tempo viewpoint.

I think when they did 1 it was very fast

[@joeflowers695]

I agree. In Viewpoints movement work, speed of 1 is considered "as slow as you can go and still call it movement." It's almost imperceptible. These actors weren't really using their full range.
