Lesson One
After our warm-up today, we read The New World Order, by Harold Pinter together. We talked about the intentions and objectives of the two characters and how to show this when we are acting. I found the script funny and enjoyable and looked forward to working with it.
We were then split into groups of two and started to rehearse performing it. I played Dez, who Arnold and I both decided was the boss of the two and started trying to scare the man in the chair by using my voice to threaten him. I spoke quietly and menacingly and layed a hand on his shoulder every now and then, circling him as I spoke.
My strength in this lesson was reading each line and knowing how it should be said. I think I need to work on showing my character's intentions and objectives when I act.
