At home I have been doing my usual set tasks to learn my lines ,performing to myself in the mirror so I can see the facial expressions my face makes. While I'm acting to my self in the mirror I self examine my self to make sure I'm acting to my full potential which I know is expected high.
Last few weeks I just need to fully block my scenes to perfection and make it performance ready. Need to work on my thought process while saying my lines best way to perform ask your self why am I saying this? This brings the best of your character.
What I have found a big challenge about this role is playing 40 year old man but this is good experience for me. Its best to have those experiences so you know what the expect in the coming future.
Out of all the plays I have done in my life this was my biggest challenge, the mood in this place was all over the place and if you didn't fully understand it you were in trouble. At the beginning I was in trouble I keep being stopped while acting because my thought process was all over the place. For our recent rehearsals I pulled my self together and finally good the thought process right.
The process of rehearsals were going well ,although it was close to being performance ready. It still needed a bit more clearing up , especially the scenes were Dean and Josh would argue. This really brought the mood out of play the love they had for each other. While rehearsing everyone was getting stopped none stop to tune the play to perfection. Today I solely worked on the thought process which was the hardest part of my character. To play any character you really have to understand the purpose of your job in the play, to find it the easiest way to play your character.
My tone of my voice wasn't coming from my thought process which was a let down for me in todays rehearsals , I must outside of college time practise saying my lines to my self and make sure my tone matches the thought process. I must carry out some more research related with transgender subjects to cement my role as dad. Another challenge I faced was not to move my hands and feet while on stage, I do this a lot this is just a natural thing I do. When playing a character your in their shoes your not yourself. You must adapt to your surroundings when in the moment you have to me your character and know one else. When in the moment I felt very contained in my rehearsal room, this helped me to evolve into my character and develop complex emotions for my character.
Today we started to suggest set ideas to reflect our plays purpose for us and the audience , our ideas raised were mirrors hanging from the ceiling to suggest that dean was constantly looking at himself slowly evolve through his process of turning into a male. I thought this was very clever idea to really show off the themes in our play , this idea really set the mood of the play.
What was suggested for my time on stage was complete darkness and only spot light on me and my wife, I thought this was clever idea I've never acted in a spotlight like that before I couldn't wait to. This was going to really test to work in such a small spotlight , I must make sure I work within the space and don't move. For this at home I will act in small spot in my house and feel the moment to get used to working in small surroundings , to feel the moment of my character.
