Score your scene with the following rubric. Notes should connect to the scene moment-to-moment. Remember that you want your work on the scene to put you in a state of readiness for action and discovery. Your notes should always be fluid and open to new insights and possibilities. Ask questions and list multiple choices where possible.
Given Circumstances: Identify places in the script where the G.C. have an influence, particularly the G.C. that launch you into the scene.
Environmental Dynamics: Define areas of the stage in terms of their effect or influence on your character. Where is it safe? Where is there danger? Where is escape? Comfort? Unease?
Somatic Components: What's going on in your body? Where do you manifest stress? Joy? Etc..
Thought Cues: Identify the points at which the thoughts and responses are cued by another's words or actions.
Choices: Note choices made at new transactions: opportunities for intimacy, games, etc.
Existential Position: IOK/YOK; IOK/YNOK; INOK/YOK; INOK/YNOK. Note places where this is evident.
Ego State Changes: note changes (e.g. Child to Adult) and what triggers the changes.
Actions/Objectives: Note changes in objective, accomplished or failed objectives. State strategic actions such as "to lull" "to frighten" etc.
