Diary Entry
Christopher, hes the only person in the area who really talks to me, its a shame because hes such a nice boy, but whenever he stops off at mine hes just here to do detective work, i find him very interseting, id love to get to know him more, i dont really have that many friends, im really concerned for Christopher, because his father has warned him not to do detecive work, i have tried talk him out of it, i even invited him in but he dissappeared, its a shame, i really like that kid. His dad doesn't seem to love him very much, i can often hear Ed yelling at christopher from my house, and I'm practically deaf! I really feel sorry for the young lad. At the end of the day he's a 15 year old autistic boy, the other neighbours need to cut him some slack...

Ways To Tell A Story 26th september
Ways To Tell A Story.
Stories can be told in many different ways using different techniques and expressions, the drama techniques can enhance performance skills such as character development and story telling, there are many different techniques which can be used in different ways for example.
Stories for children need to be narrative and engaging with the characters, they have to be narrative and should flow from beginning to end. Alot of the time in childrens stories, pictures are involved, many storylines in childrens stories involve talking anilmals, For example disney has created engaging stories of animals, which connects the younger audience. A very famous, successful disney story was 'The Lion King', which is a grasping emotional story which captured many adults and children, it was quite an easy story to understand but also was very clever, as the characters sang and danced, which always helps when telling a story. Genrally in stories, there is normally a plot twist,
Another way of telling a story is through dance, the audience can clearly connect with the character and the theme of the story, through the dancers facial expressions and movement, contemporary dance is a brilliant way of telling a story.
Singing is also a good way to tell a story because the emotion in the characters voice can show how they are feeling, and yu can link how they are feeling, to what is happening around them, which makes it easier to work out what the story is actually about.

23rd September: getting to know our characters.
Today we were able to go into more depths with our scripts, i found that in act one of "the curious incident of the dog in the night time", my character, Mr alexander has a lot of scenes with the main character Christopher who is autistic, i notice the character is very friendly towards Christopher and when i play this role i will have to show that i care a lot for him, I also have a few lines in the second half, one being my second role which is a 'London transport policeman'.
We practiced our lines and tried to get into character, this way we could develop a bigger understanding of the way our characters behave and feel.
The play is basically about everything that is going on in Christophers mind, and we as actors act out what he is saying, for example when he mentions how he came home and his mother was not home, as he explains every movement when he got home, each actor acted out different things Christopher did, which looked effective.

22nd September: getting our characters and scripts.
Performing Arts. 22 September 2014
Today we took a trip into Christopher's mind, stood in his shoes and felt how he did, we acted out the inside of head, the constant confusion, my group improvised most of our devised piece but Christophers emotions and feelings where still very clearly shown.
I was given two parts, one being a main role and one quite small role, i was happy to know i had got the part of 'Mr Alexandra' and a 'London Transport Policeman' both are very different characters, Mr Alexandra being quite calm and friendly and the policeman to be quite serious.
