HOLIDAY WORKSHOP- tuesday 24th of April

In week 3 of the skook holidays on Tuesday from about 9 till 3 or 4 i don't memba... I dragged my bottom 2 skool 4 a workshop to help character building and get us organised/prepared for our year 12 production of MIRROR MIRROR in week six!

Things i need to do:

Follow directors intent- Girls pressures/influences, including:
absent father
vain mother- bad role model
not right build for ballet. makes me sad start of disorder
magazines/pop-culture
size 0= beauty
BARBIE
celebrities, models etc. shallow,surface, outside beauty=IMPORTANT, inside beauty=NOT IMPORTANT


RESEARCH ANOREXIA
understand the disease
find stories about anorexic girls
ANSWER 'what is it be anorexic?'... this will help me get into the mind-set

PHYSICALISATION
find photos of girls who are anorexic
observe human behaviour, in order to re-create (watch skinny girls @ supre, ones who try on 3xs which = a size 0, & see how they react when they look in the mirror, are they happy, do they like wat they see?)
appealing 4 my character= sky, air
work out how 2 show this part of me through costume
find material that represents my character for the circus tent

MAKE BELIEVABLE AND REAL
choose ppl or certain situations
to enable a real performance..
DAD-
MUM-
FRIEND-
BROTHER-
VOICE-
i already have one 4 the voice :'(
& one 4 the dad 2.

show difference in girl as she grows up.. 4, 12, 16
costume/make-up/hair
voice
attitude
physicalisation

WORK OUT RELATIONSHIPS 2 OTHA CHARACTERS
use the script- what does it tell me about the GIRL, use this 2 build my character
no name- represent a 'GIRL'... all girls??
use lines in the play to work out relationships and what others think of me

use Kane's 'WORKING ACTIONS'
WRING- strong, sustained flexible
GIRL= nervous, worried about being caught out,fidgety
want 2 FLOAT- light, sustained, flexible.
MY QUEST 2 BE THIN AS AIR....
this will help with stage presence

plus work through and tick off actors checklist
