How to pretend you’re holding stuff
WS 14
Object work can go from being completely forgotten about to feeling too overwhelming,
especially as we’re trying to remember to do all the other good stuff we’re taught. The good
news is, you hold stuff all the time, so your brain (and hands) already knows how to do it, we
just have to try and do it without the object!
Using actual real-life stuff, scenes and side-coaching we’ll have you holding stuff in no time!
