In one session we used the hot seating rehearsal technique and I stayed in character for between 6-7 mins however I did make a small mistake when I jerked like a head butt. However, even though the questions in the first part of the exercise were not specifically related to the scene, I did manage to feel the character.
What led up to the monologue.
Danny doesn't want people to ask about him but wants to tell people how hard it is to keep them at arms reach. His life is going nowhere and he plans to kill himself on his 30th birthday. He hates his dad because he was angry and you can see the reflection of his father in the character of Danny. As Danny and Roberta speak he feels more comfortable and opens up to her about how he hurt his hand, how he thinks he might of killed the guy in the fight that he had the night previous. It is at this point in the play that the monologue takes place.
Any further details on the process I took is written on my script.
