In our last session, we each were tasked with performing a solo task by improvising scenarios that were given to us. At first it sounded quite nerve wracking but once we got into the moment, there are some great things that can be found within the context of the improvisation. For instance, i was asked to act as if i just woke up after a party and the house was in a complete state and my parents were going to be home in the next half hour. I used my own experience of waking up after a mad night and used it to my advantage. I also pictured myself in some sort of rush at first but then i finished it off by giving up and accepting the consequences that come to me i.e a bitch slapping from the parents!

This exercise taught me about how to find little moments within the solo performance that can be drawn from our own personalities or memories. Although my piece is initially about the combination of psychopaths and theatricality, i want to use my own everyday personality to tell this kind of story. It will be quite difficult at first, but out of that difficulty will come a piece of work that stems from the human heart.
