i have managed to add everything taht was nedded, just have to insert the turning points in.. which im still working on.. cause im still turnin..:D
Directorial Vision/ Concept-
The scene that I have chosen is the climax of the play, where my character, the protagonist of the play Antigone is sentenced to death for the ‘criminal’ act that she has performed.
My character in the duration of the whole play plays a very cold, reserved, determined, impulsive and head strong woman, who defies authority and men. But here in this seen, she is alone, and the audience will be able to see her walls breaking down, and she in seen her most miserable state of despair and anger. She is presented vulnerable and hurt to the audience. The audience will feel pity for my character, sympathizing with her over her mistreatment. I want them to feel the pain and suffering that I have been through. They will think of her as being in the right, being a loving and loyal daughter and a pious woman.
Performance Theory/ History of Tradition-
The play is a naturalistic play, set in the Greek period. It is very similar to contemporary realism in the sense that is a naturalistic play, and is a narrative. I used the Stanislavski method to get in touch with my character. Many of the emotions called for are ones that I have experienced before, and thus I looked at past experiences and tried to get in touch with my character.
Evaluation of creative process-
The setting was in a cave that I imagined to be relatively small and dark, except for one hole in the ceiling from which light entered. I had to train myself how to react to the cave, and to show the audience that I was in one, since I was not using any props. I had to practice controlled movements of the hands, so that I could mime banging on the cave walls.
My costume definitely had to be something Greek, and after watching the movie, the plays that had been previously performed and searching for picture, I decided that I had to add on an additional cloth to symbolize the fact that I was from a royal family.
