Doll House Scene

I did a Doll's house scene with Max and Suyin, we chose the scene where Mrs. Linde was paying Nora a visit at her home with the presence of Dr. Rank. I chose to play the character of Mrs. Linde because I knew she was a sophisticated person and I like playing mature people. At the beginning of this scene Nora and Mrs. Linde talk about Krogstad and Mrs. Linde seems very intereseted in him and what's going on in his life.In this scene mainly Dr. Rank and Nora are discussing eachothers perception about society that are very different from one another. Half of the time, Mrs. Linde is just listening in to what both of them have to say and see if anything unusual or interesting is said, she takes notes of everything. Playing Mrs. Linde was queit an easy characte to play since the genre of the play is realism it gives us an advantage to just play normal people and it's not anything bizarre. For Mrs. Lindes character I had to act her age very grown up, mature and classy. I also had to adjust my tone to make it sound more of an adult rather than a teenager but also have variations because we don't say everything the same way at the same time. While Dr. Rank and Nora were having a conversation, I let them talk and only had little to say especially when it came to something shocking. Majority of the time I just reacted with my facial expressions and was always being really kind to Dr. Rank since I needed someone to help me find a job. At first for the formative we didn't use any props on stage, then for the summative we used them and it made a huge difference, it brought the scene more to life and made it look more realistic, we all felt more comfortable too and it brought out our characters more like Max having cruches for Dr. Rank. What I thought I could have improved would be the projection of my voice like Mrs. Morris mentioned, since Dr. Ranks voice was so weak and soft, Nora and myself could have sounded much louder, so that the audience can tell the difference about how healthy we are and how sick Dr. Rank is.
