ABSTRACT
This chapter explains the DOs and DON'Ts of some things to think about. DON'T make somebody become a table or chair that then gets sat on, this is not physical theatre, it is demeaning. It holds our breath when attempting particularly difficult physical movement you need it. Breathe out during exertion. It always aims for the end point when creating physical work. When directing, don't be afraid of withholding information to support this practice. A love duet might have started out as a fight duet that got slower and slower and vice versa. This is how interesting material gets made. DON'T make excuses for your cultural inspirations. It allows language to become strange when combined with movement. If you close your eyes and listen to a scene where you have combined language and physicality and the language has strange rhythms and inflections you have just committed a grave sin.
