Knowing your objective can change atmosphere on the whole stage
Good objective will reflect your vocal pattern
Offer something - front foot of rehearsals
Helping the process move forward and be dynamic
More options by crating your own objectives
Connecting your own body and your own voice
Bringing your character to life
Gives you control throughout the whole piece by matching your body and voice
Use research then apply knowledge we have to performance
The skills of an actor do not just encapsulate acting
- understanding historical research
- apply different art forms and all the world
- puts on all those hats and immerses themselves in it
Open to new direction
Giving 100% in every rehearsal
Just play! Try on those different characters!
Try and get everything wrong to get everything right
Acknowledge the rehearsal room is a place to experiment
Needed to use imagination
2. In acting you don't think
Put yourself in the shoes of the audience
E.g. Raiders
Bandannas
- signifies to audience that raiders are here
Detail of different characters
No room for TV acting
Needed to fill that space in the size of your characters
Cheat sheets - marking out the stage
- costume
= own journey
You're always being watched
Rather than confidence, you need belief
Even if you think it's not going to work or you're reluctant, it pays off to believe in it
Use simple objects to replace props e.g. Pipes for guns
Theatrical conceit
- the concept
Acknowledge the play was a difficult play
- difficult to get overview and concept at the beginning but achieved eventually
Costumes to help communicate intentions for different roles
3. created an eerie and tense atmosphere, mysterious and engaging through use of body language, eye contact and vocal colour
Needed to display leadership skills
Remaining in character at all times
Stick with the ensemble
Work with the ensemble
Received Pronunciation - don't have a specific regional accent
"Queen's English"
Without nailing pace and dymanics of scenes, the success of the piece wouldn't have been as great as it would have been
Difference between film and stage
Big challenges of theatre:
- Live
- Can't make mistakes
But that what makes it exciting!
Should be different every night
Playing different actions
Finding new ways to lift the journey of your character
4. No limitations
Commit to vocal and physical work
Be motivated in rehearsals
Get the most out of that time
Acting isn't "lying" or "telling" - find the truth
Transformative acting - when an acting is completely different to who they are
Immersing yourself in that character - leaving your grates and mannerisms at home
5. Have to be selfless and selfish at the same time
Working in an ensemble - finding the balance in being selfish and selfless at the same time
6. Script work
- take notes
