Today we discussed the practitioner Max Stafford-Clarke, who
set up the ‘out of joint’ theatre company. He spoke about auctioning text. This
means taking each individual line of you script and deciding your character’s
intention for it. However, the intention must be laid out in the following
format:
I *transitional verb* you (e.g. I command you, I inspire you
etc.)
Whilst I found this a very difficult process, as you not
only have to decide on a (or a few) word (/s), you also have to ensure they fit
the required layout; I also found it a very useful process as it allowed me to
consider my character’s (Dysart) motivations and intentions and also explore
different ways of performing the same line. This should aid my character analysis
and performance.
