DURATION

⏳ How long are you willing to stay inside a moment? That’s Duration. And it’s one of your most powerful tools as an actor.

🔥 Duration isn’t tempo. It’s not about speed, it’s about how long something lasts. A stare. A gesture. A silence. A stillness.

👀 A long duration can create power, tension, or discomfort. A short one can feel impulsive, abrupt, or casual.

🤝 In partner scenes, duration becomes a silent negotiation. Who holds? Who breaks? That timing tells the story.

🌀 In group work, duration creates rhythm, contrast, and cohesion. It’s where your physical storytelling becomes music.

🎯 Control duration, and you control time.
