Stanislavski was once quoted "Spectators come to the theatre to hear the subtext." This is very true as the text only conveys so much, it is an actors job to interpret it and create subtext. The definition of subtext is the underlining personality of a dramatic character as implied or indicated by a script or text. In todays lesson we were given four lines:
1. "I'm sorry
2. "Really?"
3. "You know you can trust me"
4. "Thanks"
We were allowed five minutes to come up with a given circumstance, and our teacher had to identify what the situation was. It was difficult to display what the circumstance was as there were only for lines. In he end our teacher was unable to identify the circumstance, as we did not choose the correct situation for the lines which made it confusing.
