Actors Sprint 1

CTORS 2/8

I suppose that took forever. But the only way you get faster at it is to do it again and again. It goes about twice as fast each time you do it.

SO... today you’re starting a new script! Due tomorrow!

We’re working with another wonderful television play, She Walks in Beauty, by Ken Kolb.

I’ve marked on the script the character for which you are doing your analysis.

In short, you’re each analyzing a major and a minor character.

Follow the process as I outlined it:
1) Read the script straight through;
Work through the script, writing down anything you figure out or that is said about the character;
Break the script into French Scenes (I did this one for you), numbering each French Scene;
For each French Scene write the following information down in your notes;
What’s the environment/Where is it set?
Who’s in the scene;
What is happening between the characters?
What are the characters doing?

Attached is a script. You might find it helpful, after reading it through, to cross out the camera shots and action bits of the script so you can concentrate on the dialog.

You’re handing it in tomorrow, along with your first script if you’re not done with that. I want the script, all broken down, and your notes on it.

Your work tomorrow is your ticket to talking....
