Lesson

Today we focused on our character superobjectives and objectives and how to bring them out. My character's superobjective: to study the plants.

For the first exercise we had to walk around the space doing a phycological gesture which is a gesture that shows our objective whilst speaking out our objective. I can't say I got much out of this exercise because it didn't help me discover much. I already knew my objective and that exercise wasn't showing me anything new.

We focused on the physical centre next which is the point of the body through which the energy comes from and through which they lead. My character leads from the chin because even though he's not a high-ranking officer, he still feels superior amongst the convicts and has a decent amount of self-respect. This also makes me walk slower and look more manly if I use the chest too.

This lesson helped in some instances but not so much in others. This is character development I could have done in rehearsals or in my own time. I need to do more research into my character before this would be of any help to me.
