Lesson 2 - 15th November 2012

Today’s lesson focused on creating the history of a character and exploring what we know from the text.

Task 1:

Firstly in groups of 5 you created a 1 minute version of the play ‘DNA’

 


Answer these questions:

 


Q - Why did you do this?

I think that we did this to help ourselves summarise the play in a better understanding and understand our own characters more. It was really interesting to see everybody elses perception of the characters.


Q- How did it help you?

Like i previously said, i think that it gave us a better understanding of the play because we were thinking more deeply into it, because we had to role play it.


Q- What did you notice about all of the pieces that were created? Were their moments that were the same?

Yes, well obviously, working on the same script, we would all have many similarities in our pieces, but i think the most obvious in everybody’s was when Adam ‘dies’, the plan to cover up his death, and when he comes back to life.

We discussed the role of the postman - a character that is never seen and doesn’t speak.

 


Q- What is the importance of this character in the play?

He is the person in the play that makes the audience know that the characters feel no emotion. It helps them understand the lengths the characters would go too, to cover this up. And it also puts a picture in everybody’s head, through Dennis Kelly’s amazing description.
