"Anne"

We started the lesson by picking a scene from the ones we had read last week, we decided on Scene 12. We then had to walk around the space asking our self questions, where are you? who are you with? how old are you? etc. these were to help us with characterisation. We then did a short hot seating, where one person from each group (both groups picked different scenes) asked questions about their characters, this was really useful as it allowed us to see the different stages of "Anne" and not only that but the questions we asked we could relate the answers back to ourselves and help us to build our character further. We were then told to create a monologue in 3 minutes about how us as our character was feeling, this again was really useful as it allowed us to help shape and form a character that we can definitely develop further.

"I am alone, more often than not in my life I am alone, the city I live in, the city I grew up in is not really a city anymore but for some reason I still head to the airport, it's difficult the road I take is no longer a road, but, my car will protect me, and if I get to the airport I can protect my daughter. My daughter is lost, well parts of my daughter are lost but that's not important, I can fix my daughter as long as I get to the airport. I am not alone anymore, there are men with guns, and they are stopping me"

 Within our monologue we then highlighted 2-3 key sentences and then actioned them to represent how our characters would play them. I played my version of the character very on edge and isolated, as if no one else opinion could inflict her thought process.
