Personal Feedback
My rehearsing and
realisation of the text has been good, I have complemented this with a through appreciation of
the performance’s demands and what was required to develop my understanding
about what acting is and what my process is. I am able to develop material
for performance with true actor’s vigour and creativity, underlying my process with honesty and discovery. I was were held back by my partner not
knowing lines early enough and I’m not sure how much of my scene was created
through instinctual responses.
Even so, I think my performance was excellent
and I used a broad variety of objectives to meet the scene’s needs with vocal
clarity and effective movement. Again though I was held back by not being
able to work on this scene professionally and it meant along with some rather
odd acting decisions that my scene was not as fully realised as it could’ve
been.
My log needs to be compiled more clearly, a contents sheet or something to explain
the structure. it was a decent logbook but I need to organise it and now start to
add more evaluative comments and rigorous detail.
Three Sisters Character Impro Notes

She's looking for love. Tuzenbach and Solyony are both in
love with her and thus fight about this.
Youthful and playful. She is representative of the future
and the virgin.
Masha Serghyeevna
The quiet one. She is married to Kulyghin, bitter about
her marriage, grown apart from him because of her greater intelligence.In love
with Vershinin. She is representative of the present and the mother.

He is a Captain in the army, though he embodies many evil
and sadistic qualities. He's jealous and shy person. Shows off to the point of
embarrassment when faced with social situations. A dueler and defender for Irina.
A Lieutenant in the Army. He is warm, loyal and honest.
He also philosophizes. He is a lover, not a fighter.

Irina.
The approach to devising.
• The production is based on the idea of
presenting a jazz-riff on the ideas and concerns of the original play.
• Like a jazz improvisation, the performance
is different every time.
• The show is semi-improvised. Only lines
from the original play text are used, but the actors can say them in any order
and repeat them or break them up according to the action.
• As the show is improvised, the actors
must respond to what they give each other in the moment. This is how the sense of
‘liveness’ is created on stage.
