Statement of Intention – Role: Bess- “The Highwayman” GLOSSARY OF DRAMA TECHNIQUES
voice, body, movement and use of space
Here is an example:
I am going to be Bess. I want to show how beautiful and brave she is. She defies the soldiers and sacrifices herself to save her lover. I want the audience to feel my fear and to feel sorry for me as I am faced with an impossible choice.
I stand up straight with my shoulders back and look straight at the audience. I press my lips together to show I am scared. I struggle against the ropes [imaginary] that tie me up. I use an angry voice and I yell at the soldiers. When I say "I love him" I use a quieter, deeper voice then I whisper "goodbye" as I pull the gun trigger.
