24th February 2015 Lesson Analysis, Goat Scene.

In this lesson we began blocking the Goat scene, this rehearsal was very ruffly done, and was mainly to work out how we would work out how was would show to violent scenes, in a respectful way. It starts off with my character pushing Lisa onto her knees and then straight onto the floor, yet my character is interupted by Jane coming in.

I had to seak guidence in my characters mood change when he turns nasty towards Lisa. At this point of the rehearsal process it came very useful in having a parallel cast, as it helped me by watching Henry rehearse the scene, and i tried to pick up on where he changed his body language and facial exspression, to show the change in the character, that the audience first saw at the start of the scene. 

I choose that the split second that my character pushes Lisa down, at this point i change me body language and make my facial exspression a lot more harsh, this sudden change keeps up with my characters trait of suprise and being very sudden. At this point i was given direction to maybe make all of my movements a bit less animated, and more belivable to an audience, I took this on board and made everything more agressive and natural movements, this makes it look like my character had been putting up a front, and he is now letting his guard down.  When facing a serious theme of rape like this, i tried to be serious about it and really thing about what the two people in the scene would be feeling like, how vunrable Lisa would be feeling, and how shocked she would be as this is the first bad thing to have happened to her since she came to Dissocia. And i also thought about how my character would be feeling, as i wanted to perform it with the right sort of anger, but still wanted him to seem caring and forgiveful to Lisa.
