On the 27th of September, we were given the task to work with person we had initially done the chair duet and share our ideas with what themes we saw or relationships and from that we had to further develop our chair duet.

Part of understanding our character is through knowing the purpose of the lines that your character is saying. And so we were given the task to give each line a transitive verb, something you do to someone else and doing this allowed me to think "what do I want to do to Jack" if I were able to physically show my feelings towards Jack what would I do. Another task we had been given was to direct our lines to either the head, heart or stomach, to make us question are we trying to get the other to think or possibly evoke emotion or make them have a sort of gut feeling. The combination of the two tasks allowed me to grasp Sadie's purpose/feelings she has during the moment she is talking to Jack.

At first when I performed Sadie I thought of her as quite timid who had a crush on Jack so when she had sex with him it was important to her, so when he had said that he did not exactly remember what happened that night she felt hurt cause it was almost in a way rejecting her feelings towards him as she wasn't  important enough for him to remember.

After doing some research and receiving some feedback I decided to change how I played Sadie I instead I changed her into someone who doesn't have a crush on Jack and when she had sex with Jack she had only done it because Jack may have just piqued her interest at that point of time and may have made the decision under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Also Sadie seems to be popular and is desired by other guys and so when she never received a call from Jack she felt not hurt but more disrespected and she would have a type superiority complex and so she feels disrespected by Jack and his claims that she may have gave him an STI and I feel that’s she’s mostly trying to get him to take the blame for the STI

These are the essential ingredients to a successful scene and should be used to guide your work. Successful application of these ingredients is what will be assessed for the acting element of Toolkit.

# data[].attributes.body
Relationship: In the script Jack has a crush on Sadie, before this scene a few weeks before, Sadie and Jack had met a party where Jack had taken drugs and afterwards had sex with Sadie. From that point until now they didn’t speak to each other and from the beginning there is tension because Sadie expected to get a call from Jack but she never did and then Jack tells her that he contracted an STI and he believes it’s from her, which she finds extremely offensive to say to her.

# data[].attributes.body
Objective: I believe that Sadie's objective is to get Jack to take responsibility of the whole situation that because he was irresponsible and he didn't wear a condom that they are in this situation, instead of Jack trying to place the blame onto Sadie for contracting the STI, Jack is in the wrong as the whole situation could have been avoided if he hadn't been so reckless.

# data[].attributes.body
Obstacle: The thing that is blocking Sadie from getting her objective is mixture between Jacks own point of view in this situation and Sadie's own doubt. Because Jack does not really care so much about who gave who the STI, more so he just cares that Sadie goes to the clinic to check, for Sadie I feel that the reason why she herself is blocking her own objective is because deep down Sadie knows that she could be the reason that Jack caught the STI in the first place and so deep down she also holds responsibility for this aswell but her pride gets the better of her and feels the need to blame it completely on Jack

# data[].attributes.body
Strategy: The way that Sadie tries to get Jack to feel guilty is through trying to attack him with her words for example when Jack tells Sadie that he didn’t mean to hurt her but now she knows, Sadie then goes into say “And why do you think I have you this disease it sounds more like you gave it to me. And half the other girls at the party.” The first comment is said as a rhetorical question, something for Jack to think about and very last comment is said to intentionally hurt him, combining the two is tactic that Sadie is using to guilt trip into taking full responsibility of his actions.

# data[].attributes.body
Tactics: Sadie uses the tactics of rude remarks to get Jack lower than her and make him feel that he has to take complete responsibility over the whole situation, for example “I’m not your partner”, “this is awful”, “ are you saying you got this disease from me”, “I looked for you everywhere and I left feeling like a slag just a fuck in the dark”, “I hope you die”. All this commentary would make Jack feel guilty and need to take responsibility for his actions.

# data[].attributes.body
Interior monologue: One key moment where Sadie has an interior monologue moment is when Jack begins to mumble about what happened at party I believe Sadie has a moment to herself where she thinks “ I don’t care about, just get to the point” something along those lines and when Jack continues to mumble on, Sadie would have a moment where she “ I’ve had enough of his crap” and this is where she completely explodes cause she just wants to get straight to the point of what Jack had done that night. Earlier on in the play, when Jack gets a hold of Sadie, he asks the obvious about if they had sex where I believe Sadie is just thinking that’s hes an idiot and that he would just get to the point is making however she goes along with conversation “what”, “yes, Jack what” so she can understand what he’s trying to tell her

# data[].attributes.body
Evaluation: Sadie has dialogue between herself and jack where she is trying to find out why Jack had never used a condom. “I thought you had a condom” here Sadie would have a pause as she is anticipating what Jack has to say to her and his reply of “I did have a condom” would cause Sadie to become more desperate to find out why he didn’t use it, having a change of atmosphere as tension builds and Sadie quickens her questions “didn’t you use it”, “no”, “why”, “I forgot” after this line Sadie would have to take a moment to process of what Jack said before saying “I can’t belive this”.

# data[].attributes.body
Beats: Inbetween the lines “look Sadie I was going to call you....” and “there’s something I should tell you” there is change as when Jack says that last line tension arises at that moment. The second moment the mood changes is the lines “is this some kind of horribal joke” and “why didn’t you tell me” as it goes from Sadie not really understanding the gravity of the situation to becoming upset by the situation. The third situation change is “ what do you mean you could have caught it from someone else” and “ don’t wanna know Jack” the scenes go between from Sadie going to complete anger to just bring exhausted by the whole situation.
