September 6, 2012




I figure I can talk some about how the stuff we’ve been doing in class will affect my character, Solyony, in Three Sisters. My initial approach to the character was that he is “stiffer” than I am, which is a term that was thrown around a lot by my high school drama teacher (who…was terrible, but that’s not a story for this journal.)

I tried to pinpoint what that meant in Laban language, and I believe it’s mostly to do with flow and weight. It’s a very controlled flow with a little bit heavier weight than I normally carry myself. He’s an army man, but a mostly sedentary one—he knows how to control his body, but he’s not super strong or heavy.

I think overall he’s a wringer, but definitely a controlled one. Contained? Maybe that’s the word we used. I’m really, really awful at remembering what words go with what. I just need to get it in my brain better.
