The aim of this lesson was to rehearse our Pinter extracts, and to ensure we apply Pinter's style in our extract.
Mollie and I decided that we need to use more pauses, and plan where our characters should stand, and when they should rise and fall. (Blocking)
Davies is a brave, proud, and clever character. He know when to be brave and when he need to back down, but also he knows who to make friends with; in order to get benefits. I don't think Davies is a very trustworthy character.
In this lesson i tried to play Davies brave and scared at the same time.
Davies character is really contrasting. In order to show this Mollie and i used levels. When Davies was trying to be stand his ground he would stand up, and Mollie's character would invade Davie's space to force him to back down.
Mollie's character tells very long story's which are pointless, which is typical Pinter. To show Pinteresque techniques Mollie and i would both pause, stare at the pretend drip from the ceiling, look at the bucket (all really slowly), then Mollie character would ask Davies a question; as he always does after his long stories.
