Text action

Hello all - just a little update from today's session with Dan about a technique that I worked on with him that he recommended everyone use for their scenes.

Working through each scene, break up every piece of dialogue into an action, an intention, of what its purpose is - similar to the sub-text, but more focussed on its intention towards whomever the speech is directed towards. For example; one of my lines 'We war beautiful, amay back den' - the action is to ingratiate Pig with Runt, to recall back to the past with rose-tinted glasses and gain Runt's focus back onto Pig. Another line 'Look at the lovely little ting' - the action is to tease Runt and continue doing so until her patience snaps.

I hope that I've explained sufficiently and not gabbled for too long on it. If you're still not sure what it all means, talk to me or anyone who was in today.
