Today's lesson was focused around the first scene and characterisation. Our lesson was taken by Russell Floyd, a successful actor who has been in theatre and television.
The main focus of the day was on characterisation. We were working on the middle part of Scene 2 where Roger and Doody are sitting on a bench and Kenickie comes over. Russell told us that Doody and Roger are completely in superior to Kenickie and we should act as if we are immature and trying to gain the attention of Kenickie, who is actually 'eyeing' up girls (Rizzo) whilst they are talking to him. Doody is a bit of a geek and him and Roger are both very similar- after all, they are best friends. We decided that Doody and Roger should be shuffling around a lot, talking very loud and being very jokey.
