"HOBSON'S CHOICE" A TRIUMPH FOR THE FABULOUS PRACTICALITIES OF REHEARSAL ROOM PROCESS.

Techniques used in the performance phase of this production of " Hobson's Choice" include –

  • ‘story idenitification ’ (a fundamental goal)
  • focusing on processing the character’s difficulties
  • expanding moments of surprise
  • using ‘centre of gravity’ to manage and modify the character’s journey
  • understanding ‘hopes’ and ‘expectations’
  • maintaining character complexity
  • choosing which impulse in the cylce is the most appropriate
