Actors Process and Breakdown of Acts

We started off by discussing our actors process with each other. Discussing it with Rachel was helpful as we gave each other some tips that we hadn’t thought of using before, and it was useful to see what her acting process was like and how different it was from mine.

We created a whole class Acting Process, which was useful as we'll all be at the same level and we'll know what we’re doing and when:


  1. Initial Research
  2. Learn Lines
  3. Given Circumstances
  4. Facts and Opinions with page numbers
  5. Research: Internet, Books, Articles, Interview real people
  6. Approaching Script: Preliminary Objectives, Super objectives, Text rides on the action, Tactics, Metaphor
  7. Text Defamiliarsation
  8. Laban efforts
  9. Preparing of rehearsal
  10. Making offers
  11. Coming with ideas
  12. Rehearsal
  13. Warm up
  14. Costume



We went on to look at the script itself. We worked out the location, time of day, props, scenery and any opportunities for the scene for every scene of 13. This was useful as I got a better understanding of the whole play and what is involved throughout.

This is what we've got so far:
