PLAYWRITING – Day 10

 

Continue to rehearse in mime to figure out what the characters are going to DO…what they are going to ACT…the script will eventually tell them what they will get to say.


Performed all scripts in MIME. Discussed.

PLAYWRITING homework:

In one full page, write down, in detail, why your life would make for a good character in a play. Include your background, your psychology (attitude), your humor, your way of talking, what you want, how badly you want it, what actions you will use to get it.
