DAY 1:
1.) Discussed the direction and focus of the course, and what previous students of Adv. Acting have learned from the process/product of the course.
2.) Participated in a partner creative problem-solving activity ("Got your Back"; Goal: Creative Problem-Solving) and discussed how it's related to how we often feel during the process of theatre.
