When working with a script, look carefully at the setting, stage directions and dialogue. Researching the roles and the play's background helps you understand the playwright's intentions.

The shape and nature of different performance spaces and stages affect the way that plays are staged and performed. Think carefully about the audience experience and what they see.

The way that you move on stage plays a key part in mime, dance and Physical theatre. It can also express a character's feelings, age and gender. Wearing period costume affects movement too.

You need to consider the vocal elements at your disposal. Think about your character's accent and register, and the type of performance required. You can practise your articulation and breathing.
