Lesson 5 - 4.10.16
In today's lesson we looked at our entire piece as a whole. We had to create a short, physical introduction to our character. All the Konstantin's got together and decided to show the emotional journey he embarks during our scenes throughout the play. It started with the 3 Konstantin's who perform a scene from act 1 doing a short physical sequence, then the act 2 Konstantin's and the Act 4 Konstantin. I am doing an extract from Act 4 and we thought it would be appropriate to explore the different stages of torment, how he almost has Nina again but she leaves, and then it leads to his suicide.
We ran our scenes and I feel my scene went really well. I felt really deep into the character, especially as during my groups version of the play, I am on stage writing at a desk in character. It really helped as I spent so much time in character, moving into the scene felt completely natural. I feel like I also may need to react a little bit more to my scene partner's lines and actions. This might be because I'm focused on my lines and not so much on being in the moment as I should be.
