Learning to Take Critiscim and Torvalds Power-Struggle

On the day of the show, many things happened to prepare me for this role. I think Tim thought that I was frustrated with him and I would like to take this chance to explain my inappropriate behaviour in relation to the show. For starters I was not at all frustrated with him for his direction notes, because I wholeheartedly agreed with all of them, I was however a little frustrated with the fact that I felt that I was constantly being singled out and that I was the only one with this level of notes. In hindsight I am shocked that I was frustrated at receiving help with achieving the necessary emotion for the scene and as I said to Tim I will definitely listen to the director in the future and never question what is correct. The other reason I was getting frustrated was partly because of my preparation for the character and the fact that even in rehearsals I was (to some degree) in character and believe Torvald thinks he has a right to be the centre of power in every situation which is why, whilst in character I struggled to alleviate that power. The power struggle is very prevalent in the ending scene where Nora leaves Torvald . Throughout the play Torvald is the centre of power and the role reversal of that power being given to Nora is quite shocking to Torvald and I thought about that during rehearsals and tried to play that in my scene. Again giving Torvald a third dimension to his character
