Lesson Analysis 3rd February

In today's lesson we focused on analysing the parts Britney scene, which involves my character, Ticket, along with Britney, Laughter, Biffer, Inhibitions and Argument. We all discuss about the link from the Goat scene to the Britney scene and it's relation to normal behaviour in reality. In real life, if a person is stressed/emotional etc., they may resort to comfort eating which temporarily but instantly relaxes/calms them. This is seen in the structure of WWOD, as the Goat scene potrays brutal and nerve-wracking situations, which is then followed by the Britney scene which evolves around stacks and stacks of hotdogs. We then explored each individual character, deciding on their dispositions, state of tension, possible relations to other characters (In Act 2), and reasons why they are that way.

Then, using our scripts we decided upon certain sections in this scene on where there would be a contrasting change of mood. For example, when Lisa is currently irritated due to the pestering violinist,who continuously plays on despite her begging them to stop, and the other bewildering characters who she increasingly can't understand, when Inhibitions suddenly appears to have no pants on, the mood instantly uplifts as everyone bursts into laughter.

In this unit, it shows how Laughter and Ticket reveal themselves to be Mungarees, which causes a wave of disturbance through the others (mood change). I believe that what my character 'Ticket' wanted out of this section, was to be recognised as their actual self, someone with power and control over the rest alongside their companion Laughter, another mungaree.
