Clues

  • Actors rehearse the scene using no dialogue, only using universally recognized sounds such as cries or laughter. (9, 8)
  • Allows the inner thoughts of a character to be heard aloud. (7, 8)
  • Deeper understanding of the character/role. Asked questions about the character and their situation. (3, 7)
  • During an improvisation or the playing of the scene, the instruction 'freeze' is given and the performers have to hold their positions. (6, 5)
  • Getting louder or quieter depending on the scene. To see what works well vocally and what doesn't. Explore the meaning of the character and their situation. (6, 4)
  • The actor pretends he is a giant and reacts as if he is much bigger than anything else on the stage. This will help with elevated status or physical intimidation. (6, 2, 6)
  • The actors reverse the roles they are portraying to gain a different view or understanding of their own role. (4, 8)
  • To perform without any planning. (12)
  • Useful for classical drama. Actors use their own words to summarise what the character is saying. (6, 11)
  • Using specific lines to find when it is appropriate to touch another character on stage. (4, 2, 5)
