Character Log/Blog Requirements

Character Blog Requirements

The goal of your log/blog is to express the thoughts, feelings and history of your character in a variety of ways. As you design your log/blog, you should always consider whether you are representing your character accurately, based on the text’s given circumstances. It is fine to add details to your character’s life as long as they are appropriate to the context and in keeping with what the playwright has given you.

Everyone’s blog must have the following:

·      At least four diary entries written from the perspective of your character.

·      Each diary entry must have a related image within it.

·     Social, Cultural, Political and Historical research into the play and any rehearsal notes or exercise write-ups.

·     Meaningful quotations related to your character and how they have helped you understand the character/play (e.g. 9 questions, relationships, targets)

·      A photo or drawing of your character (as you imagine him or her) with a brief description of them (role in life, relationships, goals, location, etc.)

·     A photo of you in your costume / mood board using magazine clippings for your character and the world of the play.

·      A link to a video or an embedded video / mind maps of your characters wants.

·      Music choices for your character with explanations.
