Preparation tasks - Full task ; witches description and script in your google drive Drama folder.

Read the script you have been given. You will be allocated a character. Consider the dominant characteristics of this character and the role of this character in the story.

Make some notes on your character. You may find these questions helpful:

1.    Is this a real character, an mythological or a fantasy creature?

2.    • What are the dominant physical features of this character, eg. age, gender, size, shape, texture?

3.    • What are the dominant emotional features of this character, eg. kind, fearful, fierce, happy.

4.    • What is the status of this character, eg. how important is the character, how much power does this character have?

5.    • What is this character’s role in the story and how does this character relate to the other characters in the story?

6.    • What else is important about this character? Consult with the production team, in particular the director and costume designer. Record the director’s concept. [see above]

7.     Record the costume designer’s ideas (colour, shape). Consider the performance space – how close is the audience, what kind of lighting is being used? How will the lighting effect the make-up? Make appropriate notes that will guide your decision making later on. It is more supportive of achievement at the higher levels to create your own design.
