The Flint Street Nativity (Casting) - PART FOUR

September 29th, Tuesday

In this lesson we found out who we would be playing in The Flint Street Nativity and I found out that I am playing Angel and Angel's mum. Angel was originally called Shamira and she was an indian child but due to my lack of being indian we changed the character to have a mother who is a very well kept mother and Angel is a posh little girl who is used to being "mummy's angel" we changed my characters name to Poppy and her brother's name to Hunter. I think that these names really suited because they are quite upper class names and I feel that the mum would be a posh mother. There is a line where my character is talking about how she is a "coon" that we changed to talking about me being posh. I think after making these changes I am going to be able to play my character properly and accurately and I look forward to playing her in the future.
We started to read through our characters lines and watched a bit of the film of The Flint Street Nativity and we decided how we would change things and what we would keep.
I think that everybody has got the right characters and I'm looking forward to playing the part of Poppy.
