CHARACTER RESEARCH

Lopahkin

• People coming home, Mrs Ranevsky.  

• Anya goes to bed, after seeing her mother again. 

• Mrs Ranevsky is glad to be back. 

• Lopahkin gives Mrs Ranevsky the idea to make some of the land of cherry orchard into houses to let out for the summer to pay her debts.  

• Gayev is against the idea, and Lopahkin is still trying to persuade her, but Mrs Ranevsky is against it. 

 OBJECTIVE OF LOPARHKIN;

In the beginning the to help Mrs Ranevsky, but she didn't want to take his help with the land, and he bought it to make sure someone else doesn't buy it, so his intentions were good, also that his family were owned by Mrs Ranevsky so maybe he wanted to be better than her, and finally I believe one of his intentions was to become a powerful land owner to leave the title of a peasant life behind him.  

 SUPER OBJECTIVE OF LOPARHKIN; 

Uses steps throughout the story to help Mrs Ranevsky, but later goes on to work for his own gain.

I've began to think about my character more and try to develop him, I began to start thinking about my characters physicality, I first began to make my back straight and sit up straight, similarly to a person who was born into a upper class family (someone posh) but, I remember that Lopahkin was born into poverty because his father was a servant(working class), so I then began to think how can I show that I can wasn't born into money but only later came into it. So I tried to hunch my back very slightly, so slightly you could barely tell. I then thought about how my character would walk, would he walk with pace, would he walk on one side of his body because of sleeping rough, but I chose to give him a slower pace when walking, I did this because I thought he would possibly be reminiscing a lot, because he is constantly referring back to his days of being poor, throughout the script. 

The costume that all the Lopahkin's chose to wear on our performance, was black casual trouser/jeans, black converses or shoes, white shirt and a black jacket(leather, or waxed).

I have again began to think about some of the characteristic's that my character Lopahkin may have, so I've been trying to give him more characteristics to bring him alive become more believable and fun to watch, so I've began to try 'unnaturally' make him put his hands in his pockets while he talks to Ravensky, I chose to try and incorporate this into my character because I felt that the more unnatural things he has, like constantly looking at the time, and putting his hands in his pockets makes he feel more real and alive, because this is stuff common everyday people do, like for example, biting there nails or crossing their legs ect.
