how to partner.

And...

Kevin, watch Jeremy.

See that?

Lovely.

Beautiful, Alice.

All right. I don't want

you to think about it.

Get out of your head

and let it be spontaneous.

This exercise is about honing

in on your natural instincts.

Free your inhibitions and

physically inhabit your own body.

Otherwise, you'll never be in touch

with any characters you're playing.

Here we go.

- Zip-Zip!

- Zip-Zip!

- Whoom!

- Whoom!

- Pow!

- Pow!

- Be!

- Be!

- Booga-Booga!

- Booga-Booga!

- Bam!

- Bam!

- Che-whe-wow!

- Che-whe-wha!

Jenny, Jenny, Jenny,

get out of your brain!

You got to learn to loosen up

and go with the first thing

that pops in your head.

Okay, everybody follow me.

Come on. Shake it out.

Shake it out. Shake it out.

Come on, shake, shake, shake!

Come on, it's the

only body you got!

You gotta be loose!

Loose, loose!

Jenny, is that loose?

You gotta learn not to be

embarrassed and you better do it now.

All right, loose, folks!

Loose. Loosen your bodies up.

Keep your eyes on

the sheet music.

If you holdin'

my money then pay me

Just another day in

the life of the queen MC

Can't stop, won't stop

Until I cop a Bentley

No, no, throw the dice.

Where you been, man?

I had to get this out

of the storage room.

We gotta get rollin'.

- Yo, plug this in.

- Are you serious?

- Rosie, plug it in. Come on.

- Right now?

Your action is "to give love."

Or "to seduce."

Let's try "to seduce."

All right, what does that look

like? What does that look like?

Okay. No, that was awful.

Can I sit down?

Sure.

Thanks.

I just met these agents,

like, a month and a half ago,

and they've been sending me out,

and I guess these casting directors are

really excited to see me for this pilot.

You didn't like the shaking?

See, I didn't see that as

fun. It was more of a hassle.

It doesn't really have

anything to do with acting.

I can maybe introduce you guys to

the agents if you want. You know?

But it loosens you.

Okay, what happens if your

character's, like, really tense?

Joe, does it work?

Today?

No.

I keep telling her to just

relax. It's nothing big.

But I have too much work

to do after school.

I have vocal exercises

and memorizing monologues,

and that's all before I even

start on my normal homework.

You actually do

all that stuff?

Huh?

There's a drum set over

there. I dare you to go on it.

How many years

have you been rapping?

She won in the last round.

What are you talkin' about?

You are retarded. Your

brain is not working right.

Yeah?

Is that so?

- Hi.

- Hi.

- This is Marco.

- How you doing?

You know I'm gonna eat you

up in front of everybody.

You can never...

Whoa!
