Before Time
Before Time: The character's life imagined actively from your first memory up to the start of the play.
Journal Task: Monologue - Before Time
Think about your character's life, from their first memory to the start of the play. Think through the main events of your character's life using your imagination actively to create real pictures and impressions of the character's past. Take a couple of minutes to think back over your own life and how many memories you have. Now do the same for your character.
In your journal write down your character's before time in as much detail as you can. Remember, Stanislavski believed the more you know and understand about your character, the more realistic the performance
