At the start of the lesson Holly (Lisa) and the two people playing Jane did some character development, and through this they made some choices about my character of Vince, he is 28 and s not very happy with Lisa, ever since they got together Lisa has not seen much of her family and it is clear to her family, the negative effect that Vince is having on her. Lisa suffers from mental illnesses, and her family point the finger on Vince for this as it always seems to be worse when he is around. Wealso believe that Lisa sees this too but is to afraid of Vince to say anything to her.
We started off the lesson by thinking about our characters in this scene and what status we would give them. My character is Inhibitions, if feel that he is quite a low status within the group, as he tends to imbariss himself and doesnt really say much of his own mind, other than backing other people up. We did some basic blocking of this scene, along side Lisa and Janes scene in the theatre, we had made some basic ideas about what we wanted to do in this scene, Such as all of the customers sitting around on the set on the outside rather than being on tables in the middle, we thought that then this would not be to in your face to Lisa and she can choose how much she wanted us to effect how she behaves in this scene. In this scene, the people playing the customers of Ticket, Argument, Laughter and Inhibitions had not made many decisions about our character yet so we used most of this time thinking about character and what the mean to Lisa. It really helped having this support and big input from everyone in the scene as they all see the characters from a different light, what they mean to their character and what they mean to Lisa.
