Playing with emotions

Cardboard Citizens is a company that works with homeless performers. In moments from the production 'Three Blind Mice' we see actors play characters who are struggling to deal with difficult lives. The play's director Tony McBride and Artistic Director Adrian Jackson talk about their rehearsal process. We see them rehearse the same scene in a number of ways trying out a range of extreme emotions. This is based on an Augusto Boal technique: the analytical rehearsal of emotion. They talk about how the actors' physicality changes depending on their different emotions. We see the scene in performance with the emotional choices the actors have made.
