Acting decisions:
How will the information gathered on the map influence the way you play the character?
The map is very useful when performing on the stage because I wouldn’t have to start from scratch i got
a good idea of the character and what needs to be done and what doesn’t. It also helps because if i got
stuck on a particular scene i would go back to the map and see where I could improve on.
