A text analysis should work for you. With you even. It should be so easy it doesn’t require stress, worry or a struggle.
Join us as we work through a beautiful 3 step text analysis based on the work of Sanford Meisner.
As part of this process, we’ll also look at preparation, free writing starting points and how a text analysis will follow on from one scene into the next.
The timeline
When? 6.30-8pm on the following dates...
Monday 11th Nov Welcome!
Steph will remind you of the text analysis process, give you some pointers and answer any questions. Generally it’ll be good for you to see each other too, to give you some accountability and a reminder of the community. We’ll read through our first scene.
Tues 12th, Wed 13th and Thurs 14th Nov
Q&A and discussion, read the scene through again.
First read of the next scene.
Friday 15th Nov
Q&A and discussion, read the scene through again.
Round up and reflections.
How will it work?
-
We’ll read through the scene in pairs.
-
You’ll go away and do your text analysis (you could do one of the characters or both, it’s up to you).
-
You’ll receive my text analysis (not to show you what’s right but simply as a reference point)
-
We’ll come together, read the scene again and discuss / Q&A
-
Repeat with four scripts in total.
A text analysis should work for you. With you even. It should be so easy it doesn’t require stress, worry or a struggle.
It should start in the head and then drop down into the body - how do we help it drop into the body so it's not a load of info swimming in your head?
