True and believable characters come from who the actor is and<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Characters approach the same situations differently.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Actors use their own motivations to portray their characters\u2019 motivations.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When we focus on the character\u2019s motivations, our body movements follow naturally to become the character.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
How does character motivation and pursuit of objectives influence body\u00a0movements?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
How does empathy play a part of performance?<\/p>\n

Never have I ever as characters\/Ignominious Death.
Hold up 5 fingers or 10 fingers depending on the size of the class. Students take turns going around the circle saying, \u201cNever have I ever\u2026.\u201d from the character\u2019s perspective. If another student (as character) has done those things they put a finger down. When you\u2019re out of fingers, you die an ignominious death as your character.
Step 1 \u2013 Discuss: How does knowing these details help you better understand your character?
Step 2 \u2013 Return: Hand in Character Analysis.
Step 3 \u2013 Focus Game: Zoom Zoom Erk. Students send the zoom around the circle. They can stop it and send it the other way by sending the Erk. If students turn their head the wrong way or say the wrong thing or get off beat\/hesitate they\u2019re out. Down to 2 people. Can play the 2 people until someone breaks if desired.
Step 4 \u2013 Practice: Begin writing character Monologues. Teacher checks and has students present examples of good work as they work. Side coaching to help students create strong monologues from their character\u2019s point of view.<\/p>\n
