Character research of pander

The character of pander is a corrupt and expolitative figue who represents the darker nature of a human. As the owner of the brothel, he is primarily motivated with greed, seeking to profit from the innocence and beauty of others, particuarly young women like Marina. his role in the play, though small, is important in highlighting the moral challenges Marina must face. Pander's attempts to force her into life of vice serve as a stark contrast to her unwavering virtue and strength of character. Alongside bawd and bolt, He provides a grimely comedic depiction of human depravity, his crude dialogue and moral indifferance adding a layer of grotesque humor to the play.

evaluation

You individual performer perspective: process and performance: Creative and Rehearsal Process What skills and methods did you develop? In this performance I developed my skills on projection another skill I have developed further is my movement with my character. How did you develop overall as an actor in the process I think I have improved a lot with confidence in performing overall over this project as this is the most I have ever done with singing and a small bit of dancing and acting I never did all of this before all at once l so I was getting out my comfort zone and it was a new experience widening my skills as an actor. What were the points in the process you found most challenging? Why? The point I found most challenging was probably the dancing bits and singing the reason why I have never felt confident in singing and dancing I always shy myself out of it stoping myself What would you do differently next time? Next time I will go even further with pushing myself when attempting to do more of the dancing/singing side of the performance, I will make my character’s characteristics way more bolder. Performance: What scenes/moments of the performance were you most successful in? Why? I think the scene I was in was very successful as me and Gracie worked on it a few times and we both knew our lines very well our characters where very fun to work, although I put her though a annoying time trying to make me remember the sweeny Tod song but at the end I got it right. What scenes/moments of the performance were you least successful in? Why? The moments I was least successful in where the singing parts in my opinion I kept on forgetting some of the lyrics in the songs or I would say it faster then others or just mime the song What scenes did you most enjoy? Why all as I believe we all did incredible
