Hey hey..
1st entry..
Well the 1st thing we had to do was to obviously get a script... So we did so..
We looked thropigh a couple of books, and i handed over some scripts to Rachel that i thought were ok and ineteresting.
Then, she looked through them and picked out one- "Have you seen Zandile?"
Its basicaly based on a real life story of Gcina Mhlophe, who was famous writer in Britain, who was brought up in Africa.
The 1st problem that we tackled was which one of us would take upo which character. Since we wanted to chakllenge ourselves,. we asked people to listen to uis line read and then tell us which characetr they though was the closest to us. According to feedback, we switched characetrs, thus making sure that both of us were challeneged to play roles that were more like the other person.
The rebel, the daughter, Zandile seemed to represent me, since she was rebellious, a teenager and also mopre educated than her mother.
The mother, Lulama meanwhile was not as educated, loving in a harsh yet at the same time kind way and was also trying to persuade her rebellious daughter. Since she was 'motherly', the part suited Rachel more.
SO, the result- I took on Lulama, and Rachel took on Zandile.
