Its been challenging playing this character but I like it to be challenging, I can experience playing a variety of roles. The hardest thing I've faced is the thought process of how to imagine having a daughter who has turned to a boy.
Today we did hot seating this helped me to further develop and to make sure my role is stuck to me still so I don't lose any focus on my character. My intentions today are to nail my character to the wall for our performance coming up very soon. As the dad my objectives are to react to myself talking about my daughter changing gender and the challenge , I will face when talking about it. I have to make sure the tension between my wife is increasing because during the play they don't get along ,I have to show this with the way I deliver lines so the audience can understand we don't get along. One of my main approaches to showing that my character isn't getting along with his wife was for when saying my lines I was trying to say them in different ways and see which works perfectly.

The most important thing about my character is the thought process, I have to know were the put the right emphasis on the right parts to add tension to the piece. I must create an atmosphere for the audience to be on the edge of their seats. My character has a variety of thoughts when engaging with the audience, so the emotions have to show how the father feels about his kid changing gender. The challenge I faced was the expressions of the character to show the difficulties he was facing with his child I found this hard to apply as I've never played a character with similar similarities to this character which was great experience performing.
In my spare time for preparation I practised to my self in the mirror to put my expressions to the test of my character. I would say Stanislavsky's system really helped for the final preparations for our performance,which was working on vocal skills, physical skills to really understand my character. I already used Stanislavsky's system a while back for another production. This performance that was coming back was very Stanislavsky style so his system was able to aid me just before our performance.

The last minute research I carried out before was again reading the script , so I knew my character to perfection. This was the last few days before our performance , I made sure my research was accurate going into our tech run. The teach run couldn't have gone better now I can say to its performance ready. We blocked all our scenes to the best of our abilities. We set the stage , done all the lighting affects. It couldn't have gone any better , now was the big day the performance we were all ready.
