We would practice as we went to school together on my dinosaur. I did it for acting class, really!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994078.post-757398068502266462008-03-28T16:55:00.000-04:002008-03-28T16:55:00.000-04:00For the acting scene (it was just for class, not a...For the acting scene (it was just for class, not an actual play) I would smoke a cigarette down halfway and then put it out on the floor. The funny thing was the other girl in the class scrambling to grab that half-cigarette afterwards and gently putting it back in the pack for later.<BR/><BR/>Oh, we were keee-razy kidz! And later I found out that the other classes doing that scene just pantomimed the smoking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994078.post-6032370044751744652008-03-27T17:57:00.000-04:002008-03-27T17:57:00.000-04:00Well as a past Agnes participant I think smoking l...Well as a past Agnes participant I think smoking lessions are a great idea!!!

As a former smoker, having to teach non-smokers to smoke on stage gives me terrible pains in my ass. Terrible. The fact that you said that you can now not treat the cigarette as a novelty, well, "You've Come a Long Way" as Virginia Slims would have said. As a HIGHLY critical person, I would notice faking and guffaw everytime I saw it, which at the Arts Barn is a little .. noticeable.<BR/><BR/>If your office likes this, wait till you have to find handicapped people on the street to mimic their gestures in order to be more realistic in a role.
