I am going to play the Act 2 Scene 2. Generaly we call this balcony scene. It shows when after the party, Romeo came to find Juliet and he expressed love to Juliet. And Juliet responsed to Romeo as well. That is the first time they build their relationships as lovers. So when we performing this scene, it is important to show at first Romeo has to be a little nervous that what if Juliet rejects him, also for Juliet she has to be a little shy too. However the middle part has a big change when they already fell in love, they felt more free. Then each one’s attitude will change, they should be both happy for having each other. They feel the sweatness of love. Therefore, for expressing their moods,it is a good idea to show very differently between before and after. For example, when Romeo first having conversation with Juliet under balcony, Romeo’s voice can be gentle and quiet. However,when they decide to date, Romeo cannot wait to see Juliet the next time. Especially Romeo is a young teenagers, and that is his first time feeling love. He can show an attitude that he does not want to say goodbye to Juliet so quickly,but also he looks forward to the next date.

This is not a short scene, it includes many clues of what personailty does Romeo and Juliet has. Romeo and Juliet are both brave, they don’t afraid of showing love. They could even against their famaily to stay with each other. Like what I said in the previous paragraph, the major word in this scene is hope. They hope they will have a bright future, they want to fight for their tomorrow. Love is powerful,it makes people are brave enough to meet any problems. In my opinion, Romeo and Juliet theme is this. So when we performing this scene, we have to show audience a postive attitude. We can add some motion to strengthen what we try to present---hope. There are so many movements we can do, such as running hurry, walk around to consider is it a smart choice to talk to Juliet under balcony.

Since that is the first time they get attached, most of the audience know their characteristics from here. The point is during the play we can not make directly tell audience what they are like because it is just too unprofessional. We are going to step by step tells what they are like. Moreover I will catch any chances to show “hope” in the play. For me that is the keyword, all the thing is around this word.
