Connors Acting Journey

Dear Evan Hansen Tuesday 19th September Today we were given a duologue from a scene in Dear Evan Hansen, the scene is an argument between Evan and his mum. I paired up with Millie Trodden, for now we were tasked with just reading through it and going over what we think is happening and how each character is reacting to one another.  We got tasked with going away and digging deep into the scene to find out the story and the context of what is going on. Just from the duologue alone I can see that the mother cares about him a lot and is trying her hardest but Evan always paints her as in the wrong because of how much she works.

Our task was to read over the script and perform it in our pairs, after which our homework was to give our person a name an age and how they react to the situation they are in.  I learnt from the homework for this lesson how to bring a character to life by adding some of my own context to the piece as to how we think they got in the situation they were in. Also by giving my character a name and age and how I can base there reaction to the situation due to the age I have given them and the way the lines were written.  Thursday 22nd September 2022 - Backstory In this l...
