SCENE STUDIES FINAL ADA4MY 12 DRAMA

STUDENT: ___________________________
Scenes will be performed Wednesday April 17th and Thursday April 18th

LEARNING GOAL: To use Meisner Technique to build a realistic,

emotionally honest two-person scene and incorporate the adjudication notes
from the previous week.
SUCCESS CRITERIA:

ACTING CHOICES ARE GUIDED BY IMPULSES, NOT LINES

Im saying two things to you: learn the lines and pick up the impulses (pg 73)

INDEPENDENT ACTIVITY IS CLEARLY CONNECTED TO

CHARACTER AND GIVEN CIRCUMSTANCES
So you dont have to play at being the character, it is right there in your
doing it (pg 24)

EMOTIONS ARE DEEPLY FELT, HONEST, AND CONNECTED TO

PREPARATION
Dont come in empty (pg 87) . . . Fulfill in ourselves what we have
determined is our emotional condition before the scene (pg 85)

RELATIONSHIP IS REVEALED THROUGH PHYSICALIZATION,

DISTANCE, FACIAL EXPRESSION, GESTURE, TONE
Relationship . . . What brings you together? What keeps you together? (pg
125)

ACTING IS SIMPLE, NATURAL, UNCLUTTERED

Dont be an actor . . . be a human being (pg 128)
