Film Dna Character Analysis

Rose Burnett Bonczek directed DNA, which had excellent performances by the cast portraying characters in very unique situation. All the actors were very well trained and knew exactly what to do at all times, which made the play very interesting. There was one actress who I could clearly tell was a master at her craft, Annabelle Rose Mayock who plays Leah. Even though all the actors were greater at their roles, Annabelle was a cut above the rest. Her portrayal of Leah was excellent and me believe that I was watching a Broadway quality play. Over all the actors and the people working behind the scenes did an spectacular job put on a incredible play, the only criticism I have is that there was only one setting the entire deration of the play,

"In mastering the art of concentration, you're developing an essential life skill" (page 8). Annabelle Rose Mayock has mastered the art of concentration in my opinion based on the performance she gave. To be a master of something requires much practice and patients and I believe Annabelle has put in the time and effort necessary to master concentration. Annabelle had to remember her the lines, she also had to say them loud enough so the audience could hear but not too loud to where it's sounds like she's yelling. This requirements great deal of concentration because you have to remember what lines to say and at the same time show how your character feels through body language and facial expressions. You cannot let your mind wander and think about anything other then what your characters trying to express to the audience, Annabelle did not let her mind wander I believed that she was Leah the entire time she was on stage. By mastering concentration Annabelle has developed an important skill that will help her in her every day

Annabelle's portrayal of her character seemed very well prepared and excellently delivered. For watching her on stage I could tell that she had a great amount of confidence her ability as actress. I would believe this confidence stems from continuously practicing her role. Everything that came out of her mouth, every movement, every emotion, every expression, seemed like it had purpose behind it. Inhibitions causes you to be nervous and lose confidence in yourself, Annabelle exhibited no signs of having any inhibitions what so ever. She seemed very relaxed on stage and knew the character she was playing inside and out. Annabelle plays Leah who can be best described as a semi psychotic, attention seeking, and a thoughtful and caring all rolled up in to one person. Her character seemed to have multiple personalities and Annabelle seem to be prepared to exhibit any personality of her character when necessary. For most of the play Annabelle plays a character that would described as being out of mind, towards the end she seems to be the only character thinking clearly. As her personality and character changes so does the way she speaks. When she's acting crazy the pitch in her voice is higher and she is taking very fast. When she's thinking clearly the pitch in her voice is lower and she's talking much slower. All the action that Annabelle’s doing onstage to play her
