Okay, the fun bit. Costumes! here's what i think but i'm open to suggestion;

chung-jeans and a t shirt

Ara-black tights, black mini skirt with top

Kojo-jeans and a hoodie/gillet-maybe both-do you both have the same colour hoodie? be great if you did.

Hassan-jeans and t shirt

Roza- skirt and top or jeans and top

young woman-hair in a high pony tail,tight jeans or short skirt/pink hoodie-trashy looking

dying man-(Euan)-suit and briefcase

mother-maybe african dress-could you bring some options in?

father-sandy coloured trousers/top


Councillor-any sort of smart trousers/smart skirt (not a mini skirt), blouse or skirt and blazer/cardigan

Translators-same as councillor

social worker-as above

Refuge manager-cords, shirt or t shirt and tank top (don't have a heart attack Jacob it will look great!)

Market trader-jeans, hoodie/coat with fingerless gloves (sachelle's idea)

What should be on your blog so far-As of 21st Jan 2013

Hi chaps!,

Here is what you should have on your blog up to now if you want to get a distinction!;


  • character work- what you discovered in the 'day in the life of' ex, what you learnt about your character in the self help group improvisation, the three character questions-what do i say about myself, what do other characters say about me, what do i say about other people? Discoveries about your characters voice and phsyicality during rehearsals, photographs of the 'role on the wall' that we created in class.

  • Research-background research into what your character does for a living or research into the country your character is from-videos, images, links to articles/you tube clips, drawings that you have made

  • Text work-annotated section of the section of text that you have in the play

  • Observations of how others are working

  • Observations of games and warm up tasks that we do-why did we do them, what did you learn about your character/yourself as an actor during it.
