  18. The door unlocked. “Good evening Your Holiness.” The Black Queen inclined her head as the Bishop slowly entered the area. His tall staff casting a shadow over his white robes. His eyes narrowed in on the Queen and he paused before he spoke. “Enough of that. Get to the point of all this! Why did you call me here?” The White Bishop spoke. “I think you have an idea.” The Black Queen spoke. ** The landscape was barren. No one was ever sure when the next war was going to happen.

  23. This is my kind of area xD I'm a theatre director so I know what your directoris getting at. The questions you are asking, are exactly what you need to fuel the character. You should find evidence in the text for any decision you make - that not only will help you learn your lines, but develop your character more. (X. Leret - Kaos Theatre Company) It's hard to answer these questions for you - go onto youtube and type it in. Read about them. Talk to people like it. Use this experience, to imagine into the character. (K. Stanislavski - An Actor Prepares) Looking into Brecht's A-Effect (Verfrundums (check spelling) Effect in the original german) - he did alot about learning about the social conditions of character and how this helps to develop character. (B. Brecht - Brecht on Theatre, The Alienation Effect in Chinese Acting) If you were a long time from the play - you are at exactly the right point to be asking questions. If i can quote Antonin Artaud (famed theatre director) 'we are not free, and the sky may fall upon our heads and above all theatre is there to teach us this.' - most plays have a hint towards the pointlessness of life. We create our own energy as a personality and this fuels us as actors. (A. Artaud - Letters on Cruelty, The Theatre and Its Double, On The Balinese Theatre) Look up Grotowski's 10 Principles - you might find some interesting help there to help your acting - although it is highly complicated - just try not to feel Grotowski's love. You'll probably die (true story, apart from Peter Brook, anyone that has fallen in love with Grotowski as a director has mysteriously died shortly after). (J. Grotowski - 10 Principles, Kumeiga: Grotowski's Theatre) I've bracketted a few texts you might want to look at, from practitioners that have helped me as a theatre practitioner. The best actor reads, learns, then approaches his play - in a totally different light. Don't be afraid to PM me if you need anymore help Gosh i'm such an acting nerd xD ** Edit: Costume you should worry about closer to the production. The costume will come out of your characterisation.
