EXPLAIN WHY YOUR CHARACTER IS IMPORTANT IN THE DRAMA

Simon is important to this play because he is "The Witness" and he holds the secret that could tear the lives of our other two "protagonist" lives apart. As I've said before he is the trigger to the bomb that can be detonate at any point during that play and when he decides to push the button that's the complete climax of the play. He gives a charge and energy to an otherwise remedial piece about the trials of an awkward family. He causes trouble and that's what an audience wants to see in a play. No one wants to watch a play with no dynamic to it and Simon is the cause of all the dynamic in this play in my opinion.

WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER WANT IN THE PLAY? OUTLINE THEIR OBJECTIVE IN ONE SENTENCE

To take back his sister and expose her "kidnapper".

OVERLEAF GIVE DETAILS OF HOW YOUR CHARACTER CONVEYES THEIR OBJECTIVE THROUGH VOICE AND MOVEMENT:

Voice: In my scene Simon is a new place for the first time. He wants to impress Alex so she'll like him so his voice needs to be engaging, exciting and energetic but simultaneously he is nervous and awkward with her because even though they may be blood related, as of this moment they are strangers. I use my chest voice to make sure Alex hangs on every answer I give her whilst giving a pleasant tone. I make sure to enunciate every syllable because Simon is a very well spoken young man! 

Movement: Using movement and voice as one I link the fact he is nervous in his new environment into the way he explores the new living room he is. I touch things a lot and explore them when no other character is looking and as I become more familiar with my environment the more I use the space around me and the bolder I am with my actions. At the start I move carefully and cautiously by the end I am dancing round the space meaning I have now grown comfortable.
