The Four Relationships

by ryan

The last acting class I took, the teacher said there were basically four relationships in any scene.

 1 Parent-Child, (coach-player, boss-employee, etc)

2. Peers (Friends)

3. Lovers (Amore)

 4. I forget the fourth.  Rivals???

Make up a fourth.

    I took a similar class in college.  If I remember correctly:

    4. Shoe Shiner/Shoe Shinee

    I think Shakespeare really pioneered this relationship.  Every shoe shiner/shoe shinee relationship since has been a thinly veiled version of the Bard’s.

    I have no formal training, but since I learn all of my acting tricks from George, I would say washer and washee, since at least 1/4 of scenes should happen in a bathtub.

    Maybe Exploiter/Exploited
