To Remember About Script Analysis

To Remember About Script Analysis

When we first sit down with a play, it’s far too easy to rush through it and start getting preoccupied about how we're going to "play it." Our minds start racing, we get overwhelmed and we start making decisions too soon. We have to fight this impulse. Your first time reading through a script, you want to go really slow and just register first impressions. Then when you go back, you will start getting an idea of what work you need to do. Again, take one fact, or idea, at a time and explore it deeply. As you do so, you want to filter the facts through your imagination so that you experience them, as opposed to just ‘knowing’ them intellectually. Have a question for Milton?
