Exercise for weekend

Hi guys!
During the session that only 4 people came to, we did some character work to try and develop their characters. I therefore have a bit of homework that will help the people that didn't come in to complete over the weekend.
This is called the GOTE exercise, GOTE stands for G = Goals; O = Obstacles; T = Tactics and E = Expectations. The GOTE principal is a very effective means for actors to relate to script and text and to gain a full understanding of their character’s purpose in the scene.
I suggest that you write;
Goals
Objectives
Tactics
Expectation
Vertically down a piece of paper and fill in the space next to it truthfully and honestly in relation to your character. It will definitely help develop your characters, it will also help if people can do this exercise and then show the other people in their play, so that they can relate to you and create a stronger connection.
Thank you,
And a big thank you yo the people who have come in over half-term. It has definitely been extremely beneficial for me, i hope it has for you too.
