Go To The Woods

In this exercise we explored how the intent of language effects what is being said and the meaning behind it. To do this exercise we use the phrase 'Go to the woods' with different objectives in order to change the way in which it was being said, thereby changing the meaning of the words, four example go to the woods angrily, would be different from going to the woods questioningly. This helped us to explore the subtext of the lines we were doing in A Dolls House and to extract the meaning Ibsen intended, resulting in a naturalistic performance. One thing I found interesting about this exercise was the fact that some objectives can sound similar to others for example seductively and intimidating can sound surprisingly similar.
