Jacques Lecoq developed an approach to acting using seven levels of attention.
7) Tragic - The bomb is about to go off. Body can't move. Petrified. The body is solid tension.
6) Passionate - The tension has exploded out of the body. It's difficult to control. Like a bomb in the room.
5) Suspense or the Reactive - Crisis is about to happen.All the tension is in the body. Concentrated between the eyes.
4) Alert or Curious - A lot of indecisive acts. Walking with caution.
3) Neutral - It is the state of tension before anything happens. You move with no story behind your movement.
2) Laid-back - Many live at this level of tension. Everything you say is cool, relaxed, casual throw-away line.
1) Exhausted or Catatonic - No tension in the body. Complete relaxation.
