Drama Portfiolo About Two Friends Leaving Each OtherFor a drama piece, we were told to do cardinal friends leaving each other.The time period was in the future. One friend is leaving the housethey live in, and going to an unkn give planet for a diverse life,promised by the company taking us was a world were dreams becamereality and there were no worries or fears. We could leave ourprevious life behind for a new, perfect one. The public are free tocome but they may only bring five personal items.I worked with Danny. The scene portrayed myself (playing the position ofCrispin) packing up my single suitcase and heading to the air basewhere we would rendezvous with the spacecraft.The character of Crispin is a little unusual. He is very geeky, but hecan be quite strong when talking to people, especially Jacob. Hestands up for himself. His voice consists of a fast lisp, and astutter. I think he is quite a nervous person. Though he and Jacobhave nothing in common and occasionaly fall out, they are goodfriends, and they only truly think one another when not in eachothers company.While packing, Crispin has some soliloquies and thinks deeply abouteach packed item before placing it in cautiously in the case. (Crispinis a very precise character)The first item was a large photo of London, Crispins original homebefore moving out, to get his own accommodation. Here he does somethought tracking before placing it in the bottom of his personal itemscase. He thought about his mother and said how frequently he missed her. Thetempo of this scene was very muffled, due to all the still images andsoliloquies. Crispins mood was quite sad, and as a result his movementwas slow and dowdy. His head was down and he shuffled his feet alittle uneasily. He interacts with the picture, holding it up in amime, and looking not at it but into it, livery back a memory. Iplayed this part on a side profile so that I didnt have my back tothe audience, while at the same time it didnt look like I w as lookingdirectly at the audience through the picture. As I packed the picture(and the memory) I became more upbeat, this is more like Crispin as heseems contented and in high spirits most of the time.He packed each item with changing emotions. For instance, the pictureof him with Jacob at a rock concert, he didnt want to go, but he didit because Jacob needed someone to go with.
