Psychic Wombat Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Why is it that in nearly every Oz soap when people sit on a sofa they hold a cushion in front of themselves? Without fail whether it's a male or female actor you see them hugging a cushion. I don't think I've ever seen anyone sit hugging a cushion in real life! I wonder, is this learnt in acting school as cushion method acting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elikell Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 I often sit on a couch and hug a cushion if there's one there. Maybe it's an Australian thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jezz Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 LOL I've noticed it over the years but I doubt it's part of the acting as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 I always thought cushions were for throwing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pembie Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Too right John I think one of the main reasons that cushions are made is to have cushion fights No the reason might be, why the actors hold the cushions while sitting on the sofa, is it gives them something to do with their hands while doing the scene. Actors sometimes find it arkward to know what to do with theirs hands when acting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
