Hello There!
At the end of this quarter we have been focusing on doing some short scenes. The scenes I am doing in particular have fairly quirky characters. Their characteristics and the way they project themselves are kind of different than what you would see in other kinds of plays, scenes, or even short stories.
The first scene I am doing has two characters, Bruce and Stacey. I portray Bruce, an offbeat type of guy with not very many friends. Bruces social skills are not too great and we can infer from the text that he is not a very strong boy, or not very athletic. He fancies Stacy, but thinks she is way out of his league, and because of that he is very confident in talking about her a giving her compliments, “You’re amazing and can do anything”. But when conversations are drifted towards him he becomes very introverted and not very sociable. I have done a lot of thinking about Bruce’s character and plan to make him come across as having a low self esteem but is very passionate.
The other scene I will be doing also involves two characters. A boy and a girl, and yet again I play a boy named Stephan. In contrast to Bruce Stephan is a very confident male. With a very rugged exterior Stephan likes to come across as tough and a force to be reckoned with. We learn in the beginning of the scene that he has no trouble standing up for himself and others he finds need help. I also think that Stephan is a empathetic and sympathetic character that cares for others in their time of need.
Overall i find these characters interesting and out of my comfort zone to work with. I am very excited to start blocking and working through the scenes as well as the lengthy memorization process that lies ahead.
Till Next Time!
