Begin... Now August 18

saskia's relationship to modes of communication:


phONE:


Mum... and interstate number and her mobile

Brother... Oz, country SA or VIC

2 friends in Spain... Paulo and Elena

Sally... girlfriend known since primary school

ESL Office

Granny's place


When is she likely to get phone calls, how often does she call them and when, how much does she text v's chat, and what plan does she have.  

What is the international chat like compared to the aussie chat... the communication factor between her and everyone.


What is her response to a private number?


eMAiL


Yes, emial, yes SKYPE, yes phone-cards...

the world of emails... begin to notice the rich world it is on its own.  How does she sign off, how does she write- with capitals or little letters, how does she sign off / respond to others signing off.


What is the tone of my emails?  How do i write, what do i write, why, how has it changed.


Emm:  this noticing of the email is something I have done in the back of my mind, developing a subconscious relationship to it.  Its cool to have a framework to begin becoming aware of it.


how to begin finding / experiencing the world of the character?...

From Holly: by osmosis in the experience of others peoples lives, in becoming more a part of a common experience as opposed to an uncommon:  Try shopping in SUPRE and Myers and David Jones, Sportsgirl.  Get a tarot card reading from that woman in the mall.  Go and try on clothes you'll never be able to buy but with the attitude that you can.  Have your hair done in a place you wouldn't think of.  Read mags that you never normally would.  Be a tourist in your own town.  Experience as much as you can in public, and let it feed the private.
