By Friday please can you put 15-20 minutes aside to do the following:

Write in role as the character you played in the improvised scene today you are writing their thoughts and feelings (inner monologue if you like):

a) 10 minutes before the scene began.

b) Immediately after the scene finished.

Extension if you are feeling creative-try and write in role about the next time

a) you see your mother/ daughter

b) the next time you see your husband/ wife/ niece.

The way to do this is called automatic writing and just put pen to paper and see what comes-if you can't think of anything to write-literally write the words I am writing I am writing repeatedly until an idea does come. Then you simply go back and cross all of those out.

Spellings and sense do not matter-this is an exercise in inner emotion and it can be crafted and edited AFTER creation.

Give it a go and see what comes- please bring to share on Thursday morning.

This is not marked in any way- it is a way of creating story and material for your work.

Be Brave- no more than 20 minutes!

It would also be good to have a chat about potential episodes before Thursday and what you want to explore next.
