I'm taking an acting class. We are doing an exercise that involves doing the repetition activity while doing the Indepedent Activity. I need a physical activity, difficult in task but can be completed - can't be tedious, and must have a realistic reason for doing it. One example would be unknotting a bunch of knots in a necklace. I can't really think of any other ideas for the "physical activity" - what have you done in the past?

Make the bed (if you have props in the class)
I remember back in a class I had to do the same thing that your doing now. I brought my head shot and resumes and actually stapled them in the class as part of the exercise with doing the scene.

- build a house of cards
- sign your name then try to copy the signature exactly, only twice as large
- stick a needle into something (a block of woood?) and then try to thread it by bringing the thread towards the hole
- buy a detailed model and try to build it
- take a piece of cloth and sew an intricate pattern into it
- if you do martial arts or yoga, assume some complex balancing position and then try to transition into another one while still balancing

The independent activity is supposed to be something difficult. I take it that laundry is something difficult for you? J/K!
