Things I Know to be True -Performance Skills-
  1. Relationships
    1. Bob and Rosie
      1. Bob's use of eye contact to Rosie is more frequent than any other character. Around Rosie, his body language is open and relaxed, and body contact between the two characters is frequent and appears to be heartfelt.
        1. Vocals between the two are kind and non-serious, contrasting with how Bob talks with Ben and the other children as well as Fran
          1. When Rosie returns from her travelling upset in one of the first scenes, the relationship between the two characters is shown immediately. Rosie is greeted by Bob hugging her and lifting her slightly off the ground in excitement with excited facial expressions and hyper tones of voice to show how them being reunited is making them feel. Close proxemics between the characters demonstrate how close their relationship is.
            1. The comparison between how Bob reacts with Rosie and how he reacts with his other children and his wife is quite significant, his performance shows that Rosie is clearly the favourite
            2. Fran and Pip
              1. PIp's monologue is directed solely at Fran, showing her frustration at her childhood experiences. It contains emotions including anger, sadness and frustration, and PIp also uses sarcasm to show her bitterness towards her mother. Fran returns the sarcasm and passive attitude in her speech, often responding to Pip's heartfelt language with short, careless murmurs, with a carefree tone of voice.
                1. Physical skills between the two are limited. Where Fran would comfort Ben in his time of need with physical contact (hugs/ hand holding), with Pip things are quite the opposite. Proxemics are used where by characters can often be seen reasonably far apart
                2. Mark and Rosie
                  1. Range of body language used, includmg hugs, kisses on the cheek and eye contact
                3. Characters
                  1. Bob Price
                    1. Needs to be cast as an old man, looking elderly and tired but who can use a variety of facial expressions such as enthusiastic and shocked.
                      1. His favourite character is Rosie, his relationship with his wife is mixed throughout the performance, his relationship with Mark is not visited in enough detail, his relationship with Ben is shown in the scene where Bens issue is confronted.
                        1. Slow and relaxed gait overall, apart from when he is angry. generally a soft and caring tone of voice particularly with Rosie. Open body language throughout.
                        2. Rosie Price
                          1. To show her immaturity, her gait would be childlike and possibly featuring a skip. Body language is open and welcoming to show her naivity
                            1. Use of vocals would be more high pitched, intonation at the end of sentences to show enthusiasm and innocence with a happy, carefree tone of voice. Her pace would often be fast but with moments of slow.
                              1. Rosie would be cast as a young, pretty girl, prefferably quite small to show how she is the youngest and most childlike character.
                              2. Fran Price
                              3. Theatrical Vocab/Terminology

                                                                        2. Key Moments
                                                                          1. Bob Price leaning scene
                                                                            1. Held a still position, leaning forward using a rope to hold him which shows the fragility of his position and situation. He used fixed eye contact with a shocked facial expression facing towards the audience but on a diagonal; the facial expression allowed the audience to feel sorry for him and wonder what was wrong. When he spoke, he used a slow, steady pace with no real tone of voice to communicate how shocked he was and how he wasnt understanding what was going on, as if he was still processing the news he had recieved o the ohone.
                                                                              1. This scene made the audience realise how something can destroy family and affect someone. It leaves the audience wondering what will happen and who has died, creating a cyclical structure to the play much like Blood Brothers. Seeing Bob so vulnerable at the beginning makes the audience automatically relate to him and feel for him throughout the rest of the performance
