Slapstick

In class we have discussed different techniques of fake exaggerated violent actions also known as slapstick. We use these techniques in order to give a complete physical display of what is happening in whatever we are performing, some examples are, falling down, punching, and slapping. In our performance we should keep realistic situations as well as realistic actions in order to make it credible.
