OBJECTIVE (Actor)
'CHOICES-OBJECTIVE' TECHNIQUE
| CHOICES - you discover the different CHOICES for each line and phrase - the final CHOICE becomes the actor's OBJECTIVE |
| SCENE OBJECTIVE: What the character is trying to achieve in a section of dialogue or a scene. Actor must ask (as character) 'What do I want?' |
| The SCENE OBJECTIVE carries the character through this particular scene. Also something that the character must achieve in that scene. |
| There is only one SCENE OBJECTIVE for each character in each scene. |
| That OBJECTIVE may or may not be achieved in that particular scene - frequently not. |
| The character will be opposed by the OBSTACLE - resists the efforts of the character to achieve the OBJECTIVE. |
| MOOD NOTES FOR THE ACTORS - supporting your actors with detailed guided notes on emotions and interpretations |
| MOOD NOTES on the SCRIPT guide the actor in the OBJECTIVE. The NOTE gives the preferred OBJECTIVE. |
SUPER OBJECTIVE: The overall OBJECTIVE that carries the character through the whole play.
