- First rehearsal Jermaine told us he wanted my character to be a 'gender non-binary' character who is a 'Stanivlaski ball of emotion'.
- First read through: noticed my character's passifying techniques and the relationship with the Singer as we often finish each others' thoughts and act together to passify.
- First Blocking: felt comfortable with the entrance which brought a lot of energy to the scene and contributed to the light energy my character brought to the scene.
- The lines offered me a blank canvas to work off as there weren't many lines and certainly not enough to have a certain character.
- My character acted as a bit of light relief to the tension-filled scene before hand.
- They're a physical and emotional pacifier: tries to calm argument and gets in between the drummer and the boy.
Development:
- I struggled with the material and opportunity of direction to create a really memorable character but tried to create someone who wasn't just a classic binary character.
- Realised my character was pretty oblivious with comments such as "We're getting quite good" whilst everyone else goes on about how terrible they are.
- He helps the boy but more out of selfish reasons than care as he just wants to play and never check if the boy is ok after he was attacked by the drummer.
- Obviously has a strong relationship with the Singer.
- Think he gets frustrated at the boy.
- Headlock bit: problematic but the last rehearsal decided to use improv which really helped with the confidence.
