At the start
of the scene, I would have the actors playing Ernie, Auntie May and the man positioned
facing the audience diagonally so the audience will notice they are still watching
the fight. For example they would still considering the audiences sight lines
therefore this would help the actor show they can still keep in mind the audience’s
sightlines while performing.
Secondly I would
have the actor playing Ernie hot seated to find out the backstory on how they
stopped Auntie May from going on to fight more fights since Ernie made her ‘heavyweight
champion of the world.’ This would enlighten the audience in the fact they know
even more about to what extent Ernie’s illucinations and what lasting damage they can do. This would be achieving
the KPI ‘describe how a hot seat can help develop a performance.
Thirdly to show the
objective of Auntie May, I would make the actress playing her have very exaggerated
gestures. For example when she tells the man to get into the ring she would
make gestures like pointing at the ring and prodding he man in the chest while
saying ‘are you a coward or what’ and the actor playing the man frown deeply and
when she gets in the ring she will have very exaggerated moments getting through
the ring barriers or over just clambers over the barricades.
Finally, I would have the
actors improvise on the scene where the fights takes place. For example Kid Saracen
could mock Auntie May for being ‘old and frail’ but she in retaliation she
mocks The Kid for his reputation for what good is knocking out other people
out. This is where the fight begins the
actors can add their own thing in like using their own style to make up dangerous
moves but however there is no physical contact for that could injure an actor
seriously
Good effort to link to the KPIs on the sheet, but you need to give specific examples to reach the green level.

To achieve this give specific examples of the questions you would ask a character and what sort of responses an actor might give. Say what they will find out about their character and how they feel in the scene you are directing.
