Week 4 small notes

- if a performance is too flat -> lack of logic and motivation.
- for every scene, do we believe/convinced of the character's scene objectives/motivations to gauge the level of performance in it.
- get the character to vocalise things (subtexts) in their head -> a combination of subtext + interior monologue.
- evaluation -> give the actor 3 things to think about.
- silence in the script means nothing while pause is often for the actor to think internally.

Good exercise:
- learn to act a scene without dialogues, by saying out aloud with interior monologues and without the monologues but just the actual acting. Observe the difference...

- to feel with eyes close on the scene and then act it out -> effective memory.

Activity & Intention -> more natural when the actor is talking with some activity going on at the same time.
