character stuff;

i am also now the showgirl in the play, so that should be a good role for me to play in contrast to the councellor. they are both such different characters and i hope that i am able to show the contrast.

after having a nice little chat to ms mace, i have decided to form my councellor character around the character of ms perky - the guidance councellor in 10 things i hate about you. the only thing is, i need to show depth in my character so i will have to work on that.

i need to go and see mrs scheepers to talk to her about school councelling and why she decided to be one (possibly to build up a past for my character) and the different methods she uses.

the way i want to show my charcacter for the councellor is "weird" and "out there" but yet she knows how exactly to help people. the fact that she has different toys and items on her desk and around her office shows that she knows that different people cope in different ways. she knows this through her obvious experience. the fact that she knows that the drums drown out the voices in the girls head shows this.

ally has left the costume up to me with the description of "bright colours, go wild" IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEAS, THAT WOULD BE FAAAAAABULOUS!!!!




now back onto the showgirl. i really want to show that she really has no life outside of the circus. it is the only thing she has focus on in her life. i'm not really sure how to show this, but i am working on it. i want her to be young, and naive, i think that in her saying that the circus is more important than family friends and the future - she is pretty naive.
