Declan Donnellan

We went through our 13 scripts and worked out our targets throughout the play.

Targets for the actor are what you are doing and seeing. They should be:

• Changing
• Specific
• Moving
• Outside/external
• Active
• Waiting to be discovered
• Needing to be changed

Declan says of the targets that:

"The stakes open to offer the best escape from the block, the actor must see the target, and before it vanishes, the target must be split in two" - Donnellan

This means that there must be 2 possible outcomes off the situation and in every situations there is a something to be lost and setting to be won.
