Interrogating the text
· Given circumstances. (What do I know about my character from reading the play?)
· What do people say about my character?
· What do I say about myself?
· What is my journey through the play
· Action your script so you know what you are doing to the other person on every line
I think my journey through the play isn't an extreme or profound one, it is more one of silliness and helpfulness for other characters such as hero and Beatrice. I think at the start of the play I am very set of doing my duties and being professional especially as the soldiers from the war are coming to stay but I feel like by the ending of the play I am a lot more confident in myself and in other characters, I am still keeping up professionalism and know my place in the world of the play as one of heros ladies but I'm also not afraid to have fun at parties and prank Beatrice for fun. People do not say anything about my character apart from Antonio who compliments me physically and who I openly flirt with.
The main two points of action for me is at the party with my split screen with Antonio and also me and Hero walking around the garden pretending that we do not know that Beatrice is listening to our conversation where we talk about her lack of being able to fall in love with anybody.
For the scene with Antonio i need to remember to just enjoy a game of almost cat and chase, him trying to catch and grab me while i play coy and say my lines and as for the scene with hero i walk around the garden at a leisurely pace whilst being extremely over the top with hero and reacting off of her energy and storytelling.
