Rehearsal 1

                  19/12/2023                       

Today myself and Ethan focused on preparation towards our performance. We explored a variety of different techniques created by Stanislavski and experimented with them in hopes that it would enhance the quality of our performance. 

Emotional Memory

In the scene, Nora gets confronted about the sacrifices she made for her dying husband. To connect with her character I used emotional memory in attempt to connect with her on a personal level. I did this through remembering:

• Situations I felt frustrated
• Situations I've been confronted
• Adrenalin experienced from arguments
• Moments I've felt guilty

Relaxation

I decided to follow some meditation techniques and make sure that I identify the one that works best for future use in preparation for the final performance. 

Seeing as this was only a half lesson I spent most of my time trying to get familiar with the script and make sure I understand the context of the play.
