Throughout the past months I've been working on a duologue based on the genre drama. We explored themes such as drug misuse and family. My character is an addict and uses manipulative ways to get her cousin to give her last pack of drugs that she hid from her.

My character had a tendency be very shifty due to side effects so i made sure to portray this by constantly moving my weight from one foot to another. I scratched my arms often to show a persistent uncomfortability within my characters emotions at the time, especially whilst communicating her cousin.
At first there were alot of things me and my partner wanted to incorporate into our duologue so as to also communicate the theme of tragedy to the audience. It would also further our message of how serious drug abuse is, however we didn't want to much as to confuse the audience.
Outside of the script there were other things we had to think about. For example, staying still displayed tension to the audience and moving about suggested a feeling of frenzy and anger. Knowing this,alongside proxemics, helped us as performers create a certain environment in which we could control what the audience understood about the characters' relationship and emotions in each moment. An example of this would be when my character Cassie is leaning on the chair towards her cousin taunting her and asking her 'What do you want from me?' She is actively getting closer to Kimora to try and intimidate her. This may also be interpreted as a power shift in the relationship.
Personally, as a performer I feel as if there are certain things I could of done better. For one, I feel as if I could of really emphasized on my addiction to the drugs that I so clearly wanted. In real life, people that are addicted to drugs stop at nothing to get them. If I had portrayed this 'thirst' for narcotics, my performance would have been believed more furtively by the audience. Also the emotions I was depicting on my face weren't enough. As an audience member, it is crucial to see the performers' emotions and actions so as to get a clearer perspective of the performance at hand.
Overall, I do believe we managed to put across a very effective performance. It was difficult at some points during the process of creating the duologue however we managed to convey an effective message to the audience.
