Who I am Auditioning for in the curios incident of the dog in the nighttime :
I am auditioning for the role of Siobhan. Siobhan is Christopher’s teacher/ mentor. She is very helpful towards Christopher and ahead is one of the only people that he truly trusts. She can calm him down and helps him understand social situations and people’s feelings a lot better. She is also the narrator and reads from Christopher’s book for the majority of the show. Almost as If she were the point of view of what it’s like in Christopher’s world. She is like a voice in his head and guides him through difficult times. For example when Christopher runs away he hears Siobhan’s voice guiding him in the right direction. She encourages him to write the book and persuaded him to do his a levels.
Our Audition Scene: We are doing Scene 52 school Scene when they go to the school and talk about Christopher doing his a levels. Siobhan’s purpose in the scene is to persuade Christopher to do the a levels only if he want to. She doesn’t want to push him to do it if he isn’t ready, and let’s him know that he isn’t in trouble. She provides a comforting and guiding presence and wants Christopher to feel safe.
This is our the scene we are doing, I watched the scene, to give me an idea of her presence and how she acts. I didn’t watch the whole video of the play, bc I wanted tk add my own spin to it, and portrayed her in the way I feel works. I also didn’t really want to it to be focused on the way she acts in this scene, because ours is going to be different and its our own adaptation of it.
