· How does this placement affect your character’s motivations in the scene(s) you are presenting?
· Where does your scene take place in terms of both time and place?
· How would you describe your role in this scene?
· How will you show this by integrating the techniques of voice, body, space and movement?
· What are the main messages you wish the audience to take away from your performance?
