As we had been given a new script to learn, in one rehearsal, we had been set to do some improvisation on what we thought our characters favourite food, past time/hobby and favourite country they have been to. As my character is obsessed with Katherine, a past time I had interpreted was that he kept thinking about her and that I had wrote poems about her and could not stop having a fetish for her.
In order to develop my character, Petruchio, we were set the task of Improvising our characters lives. In turn what I did outside the class was watch various interpretations of his character to help form my own. He is a very clumsy yet open minded person who loves money but yet in the end falls for the Shrew in the play who was in this case was Katherine. This then allowed my character to look like he wanted to impress Katherine yet he did not know how to approach the situation, making things up as he goes along. My partner, Grace, also did the same so as we got in to the rehearsal space, we were ready to discuss our ideas and research, then apply it to our scene. We had also analysed the script and translated t to modern language using the source 'No Fear Shakespeare'.
