Acting? Ep. 21 CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT: POSTURE, DESCRIPTORS & ACTION


Listen Later

Days before her performance as Caroline LeCount, T talks about the last minute prep during tech week. The elaborate costumes for the character heavily influenced her posture (totally a good thing btw). Next we get into character development techniques. Alicia looks for the key descriptive words in the script to influence her character’s actions. She gives an example with a scene from ‘Queen and Slim’ that she did in class recently. Performances of the Week include ‘Far & Away’ and ‘Ordeal by Innocence’.
