In today’s lesson, we performed our actioned unit from ’A Streetcar
Named Desire’, and received feedback from the group. Rose and my actions were
the following-
Rose (Stanley): I interrogate you
Me (Blanche): I avoid you
The first time we performed it we couldn’t express the
actions clearly enough for the audience to infer what they were. After telling
them our actions, we then worked to improve the performance. We tried many
variations, not only just of tone and movement (etc.), but also of character.
We found the most helpful variation to be Stanley assuming the role of a
patient, and Blanche of a nurse (albeit a nervous one). We were then able to successfully
convey our actions when applying them to the scripted relationship between
Stanley and Blanche.
