During the rehearsal process this week we have been going through the script, we have begun trying to get through some parts of act 1 without scripts, after a lot of character work from last week we all know more about our characters and why they behave as they do.
At home after the half term, i spent a lot of time reading the script to understand the play more and its characters, i also learnt all my lines in act 1 with only a little prompting, which i am very happy about, I'm now going to continue practicing at home until it is perfect. At home I'm also going to research into my character more and find out why he behaves as he does and how i can link this to his age.
When we get back from half term i want to spend some time at home researching my character, i feel that this will help me understand (mr alexander) more. I have been researching a lot at home this week about Christopher, learning mores about autism/Aspergers, it has helped me gain more knowledge on why Christopher behaves the way he does, and why he is so intelligent. making it easier to see why Mr Alexander is so kind around him.
After character research in school and at home, i now feel more comfortable with playing my character, i know now why/how Mr alexander reacts to Christopher. It has been difficult getting into character sometimes, because an old over friendly man is quite a challenging role to get into as a young 16 year old lad. The character building workshops this week have helped me alot.
Before next week, in our half term break, i will take time to look over and learn my lines, hopefully i will have learnt them all by the time we get back to school.
