Given circumstances

Up: Acting

(This is my interpretation.)

When:

  • Which century? Which year? Which month?
  • Which season?
  • What time of day?

Where:

  • Space itself
    • What space am I in?
    • What is in this space?
    • What is the layout of the space?
    • What is my relationship to the space I am in? (e.g. Am I the owner or just a guest?)
  • Near surroundings
    • What are the surroundings like?
    • What is the environment like? (Cold, dark, stormy, …?)
    • What do I perceive? (noise, smell, temperature, light, …)
  • Wider surroundings
    • Which city/town? Which country? Which continent?

What:

  • What are the facts?
  • What are the beliefs that society holds?
  • What is the Zeitgeist?

Who (me):

  • Who am I? (Name, age, gender, …)
  • What is my background?
  • What do I want? What do I need?

Who (others):

  • Who are the other characters in the scene? In the play?
  • How am I related to them?
  • What do I know about them?
  • How do I feel about them?
  • Do they help me achieve my objective, or hinder me? How?
