Prepare a statement of intention and annotate your
script
Identify the given circumstances in the text. Describe
the motivations of the character(s) you intend to present. Use the headings
role, time, place, situation, and focus to guide your description. Ensure your
intention reflects your character’s actions, attitudes and behaviours
throughout the play and indicates the importance of this scene within the whole
play.
Stanislavski's method - see The yellow "Performance" textbook too
Consider the following questions:
·
Where does your particular scene(s) fit into the
overall development of the play?
·
How does this placement affect your character’s motivations
in the scene(s) you are presenting?
·
Where does your scene take place in terms of both time and place?
·
How would you describe your
role in this scene?
·
How will you show this by
integrating the techniques of voice, body, space and movement?
·
What are the main messages you wish the audience to take away from your
performance?
Script notations could include subtext, techniques
(with reasons for their use), and the purpose of stage directions. Notes about
basic stage technologies could be added if they are relevant to the portrayal
of the characters in the extract, but remember that the focus of this
assessment is not on drama technology.
Put these on your blog so I can check them.
