Analysing A View From The Bridge

Today we analysed A View From The Bridge in many ways.

• Rehearsal Technique- Ways to help you get more in to character mentally and before hand
  Performance Technique- Ways to better your actual performance so physical things you do on stage
• Before Time- How the character would feel before the scene bearing in mind the events from the last scene and anything they may have done in between the scenes
  After Time- How the character feels after the scene and what they might have done after this scene before the next scene
• We did the before and after time for a character in the play and picked a particular scene. I chose Catherine and when she has just got back from town.
• We also chose a scene from the play and thought of an objective for each line. This can also be referred to as a wish or a want. I found it quite easy to do this however found it harder for shorter sentences. This is a rehearsal technique as it helps you get into character mentally but is not always demonstrated on stages unless by using actions or stage directions.
