Unit 12

On Thursday we worked on our characters. At first we were walking around the space in neutral 

and we had to think of one word that would describe our character and I chose outgoing, the reason why I chose the word outgoing is from the way the waiter speaks in the play sounds a bit straight forward and I wanted to make the character more cheerful to make it more interesting and to challenge myself. We next had to think of two gestures to go with the word and one could be totally different to each other I chose for my first one was jumping in with jazz hands and the second on was praying. I chose these because I remember whilst reading the script that my character mentions Jesus a lot so I thought maybe to incorporated something to do with Jesus and praying was the first thing that came to my head. Next we got into groups of three and we had our characters meet each other by using only the gestures, sounds and two lines from the script and created a mini scene. We then joined up with another group using the same gestures and words and we tried to make a scene. By doing this helped me understand my character more and how I may want to play it for the show.
