Understanding Given Circumstances




A scene does not simply begin from Point Zero. The events that precede a scene are just as important as the scene itself. An actor or actress who begins a scene without the proper preparation cannot deal completely with a full interpretation of the scene since the interpretation, if it is to be full and meaningful, demands that certain essentials be resolved before the scene begins.




The establishing of the GIVEN CIRCUMSTANCES gives the actor a RIGHT to be in the scene!!




So, we see that whatever moment with which we are involved has been preceded by some circumstance. The present moment (the scene) is enacted and itself is the given circumstance for the next moment (the next scene).




These are some of the questions that the actor should ask himself in order to achieve strong given circumstances.

A Real Case
by Sara Holbrook
Doubtful, I have a fever or any other measurable symptom.
I'm just down with a sniffly case 5 of sudden-self-loathing-syndrome.
TODAY! It hit like a thwop of mashed potatoes snapped against a plate,
An unrequested extra serving 10 of just-for-now-self-hate.
Today, I'm worthless, a leftover bath, a wad of second-hand gum,
I belong in a twist-tied bag 15 with the rest of the toys that won't run.
My mood's as welcome as incoming dog breath, or a terminal case of split ends.
I sparkle like a dust rag, 20 I could attract mosquitoes
maybe-not friends,
In fact, I could be contagious! I'm a downer to say the least.
And if you try to push 25 my mood swing, I'll only drag my feet.
Why? I couldn't tell you. Just, some days, I get up and get down. It's not a permanent disability, though.
