Entrance - Exit (find your justification)
| You must establish yourself from your first moment - the first thirty seconds that the audience see you are perhaps the most important. |
| The audience will notice you of course - this happens when every character arrives. You are the centre of attention. (Perhaps your entrance is not to be strongly noticed - in which case you must learn how to make a 'weak' entrance.) |
| Think through the WHO? WHAT? WHERE? |
| Making an entrance is a skill - it needs rehearsal and thinking through. You have to give the audience confidence in you. Confidence in what you are doing. |
| When an audience watches apprentice actors performing, there is always the lurking thought that the whole thing could go belly-up. You MUST give your audience confidence in you from the beginning. |
| Think through your EXIT - this has to be motivated. |
