task 3

My monologue

When staging my monologue I wanted to make it as emotive as possible so I made sure that in my performance I had many dramatic build ups in order to make it effective.
We worked in a three and helped each other by giving each other pointers on how to articulate our words.
I was told to show more emotion in my voice when things got sticky during the duration of my text for example there is a part where my character is speaking about the death of his mother I was told to go quitter so I could transmit to the audience that I was obviously saddened by this occurrence.

task 2

When we went through the sixth tale we underlined the following words:
myself, landlord, brother, mother, son, warm tired woman, hard sly man, bastard
I chose to analyse the warm tired woman on the interior, I wrote:


On the exterior (peoples perception of the character) I wrote the following:
boring people may think this beacasue she has short hair which is straight
serious because shes covered up in mature business clothing
angry (she walks briskly in a way that would suggest that she isn't in a good mood
insecure (she doesn't make eye contact with anyone)


On the interior (what the character is really like) I noted these points:
caring
hard working
family woman
friendly
short tempered
still gentle
stressed
tired


We developed a scene in the pub similar to the one in the text where the woman bumped into the woman hard sly man and he got angry. In our scene we froze at different moments and one member at a time would give the audience a short monologue to give them a little bit of an insight as to who we were and about our lives.
