How has the script analysis helped you prepare for your scene? How are you putting what you learned about your character and your scene to practice in your rehearsals?
While working with the script and including the script analysis in my own script I see how important it is for one to be able to do this. It reminds me a lot of annotating text in books that were/are very important and knowing it would be material one would work with in the future. This is what script analysis is like to me; it is notes, specific notes that will help me understand the material and work with it in the future. It is also good because this allows you to play with the text, and the way it is being delivered.
I actually feel like now I know more about my character when playing with it in rehearsals. It has been somewhat hard rehearsing alone but when we finally got a rehearsal in, the moments were better and stronger than I expected them to become.
Aside from this I am looking at the setting and responses of my character and partner to really develop an accurate and interesting scene within rehearsal. Something that I think would benefit would be to just keep going through the script like 3 - 5 times without discussing anything and just seeing how we do the scene the same or different. Otherwise it is coming along.
Your analogy to annotating a text is a good one. The facts can help you find a starting point for your work.
