In this scene Ismene is trying to convince Antigone to share the blame of the burial. She is desperate to help because she doesnt want her sister to be killed. We started this lesson by breaking down the scene so that we didnt miss anything important out and we could work out where all of the energy changes are.
When Ismene enters, i am brought on by a guard, both her and her sister are in danger as Creon is angry because Antigone broke the law. Although Ismene is scared on Creon she is more concerned about the fate of her sister.
Here there is an important energy change where ismene is getting more angry because Antigone and Creon are not listening to what she is saying, she is trying to prove a point to save her sister and nobody cares what she is saying.
When blocking this scene we had to experiment with proxemics to make sure that everyone is seen by the audience, the first time we did this i was moving around too much, although i my character is panicing in this scene, i think she still needs to keep her movements more subtle. This is because she doesnt want to come across as immature but serious. As well as this i also needed to work on different tones of voice i use to make sure that i dont sound monotone, this is there are different emotions running through the text and these need to be portrayed to the audience so that they understand the plot. I struggled most with the last line more than anything as i wasnt sure how to say it, however Rachel suggested to me that this should be more like ismene is pleading for Haemon's help to save Antigone , this helped me phrase the line better.
