What does your character need?

Reminder about memorizing lines:

1. When we meet this week your lines should be memorized.  

2. Now that they’re memorized practice saying them so that they sound natural, not robotic and NOT like you’re from Scotland…OR Ireland. 

PLEASE START WORKING ON THE FOLLOWING

Think about what your character needs to be your character.

This includes:

1. What clothes does your character need to wear to look like your character? What your character wears needs to reflect who they are. IE. What Alice wears will be very different from what Imogene wears. 

Your assignment is to make a plan for what your character will be wearing, write it out on a piece of paper or sketch it out and show me on Thursday. 

Start gathering items of clothing you have at home that you can use. If there’s something you need but don’t have check with other Vanguard students.

2. What props does your character need? If you’re one of the gossipy ladies you need access to an old cell phone. Because you ladies are gossiping on the phone… a lot! 😂  Whoever  your character is think about the details of what you might need.

Your assignment is to make a plan for what props your character needs, write it out on a piece of paper and show me on Thursday. 

& Start gathering these items,  and if there’s a prop you need that you don’t have check with other Vanguard students.

3. Have you thought about your characters personality?

Your assignment is to write five or six sentences about who your character is or draw a picture to illustrate to your character is. USE YOUR IMAGINATION.

ONE FINAL HINT!!

There is an EASY way to find the answer to some of these questions. 

Grab a script.

(You should have access to a script in your home. If you don’t have one, you probably have a sibling that does.)

Please look at the LAST TWO PAGES in the script. Many answers are there.

ALSO…I will need help creating things like stained glass windows fire the church, please tell me if you’d like to help me with these and other set pieces.
