- Public Abstract (ETD)
This statement of process parses out the techniques I utilize when creating a character for performance, specifically during the past three years of my graduate studies. By doing this it has helped me to identify and analyze my current approach to becoming a character. Within this paper I have identified the bedrock of my technique, and then examined how different techniques serve different styles of storytelling when approaching a character. It concludes with a statement on what I cherish about the craft of acting, as well as what I hope to continue to grow in.
