For those of you new to DDF there may be some terms or words used in this blog that you are unfamiliar with. So, here is a list that may help you out. A term on this list you want defined? Just post a comment below and the list will be updated quickily!
Blocking: the staged movement within a performance. (Ex: "That solo had terrible blocking! He just sat in a chair the entire time!")
Off-Stage Acting: Performers do not touch or make eye contact in the performance. Rather than looking at each other, the two actors look stragiht forward at the audience. (Ex: Jack is mad at Jill so 'slaps' the air in front of him. Jill, standing to the side of him, reacts as though she had been slapped, although now physical contact was made.)
Cutting: the selected pieces of a play or book from which you create your performance. (Ex: You want to perform 'Charolette's Web'. Rather than performing every word and including every character in the book, you choose certain important sections and put them together in a flowing format.)
National Forensic League: Has actually exsisted longer than the other NFL. Here is a link to their site: http://www.nflonline.org/AboutNFL.AboutNFL
