Single - Contemporary Theatre Unit (FSN) - Blog 15 - 22/10/15

Today in single, we rehearsed Act 2 Scene 10, the adult scene. We tried a new technique today which helped us further our understanding our characters; "The Clapping game. We would start by acting out our scenes regularly, but when we felt that our character would think something, we would clap, everyone would stop, and we then say what our character would've thought. This involved a lot of insults towards other characters which most characters wouldn't have said to each other. This understanding of subtext aided us in our characterisation as we clearly displayed that the parents were holding back there comments, meanwhile the children generally don't think about or care what they say.
