This lecture demonstration presents ten practical exercises developed in the 18th century by Aaron Hill in order to help actors find specific affects in performance. The exercises will be demonstrated and then put to use in a monologue from Addison's Cato. Participants will then be invited to try Hill's method for themselves.
