What was added to your understanding of this scene by directing/acting 1.1? 

By acting out Scene 1 - Act 1 in Romeo and Juliet I got a better understanding for the expressions and tone of voice of the characters. Also, the motions and actions of the characters were more distinct, and the physical setting was defined (when people entered "the stage", and how they talked and stood "on stage". The interactions between the characters were acted out (people spoke with anger and Benvolio tried to stop the fighting), and the feud between the two families (Montagues and Capulets) was shown through expressions and actions.
