Three Sisters

            When Natasha Enters in Act One she is wearing a Pink dress and a Green belt and appears flustered as she talks to herself about how she is late and reassures herself about her hair. She is clearly nervous about meeting everyone inside. She also gives of an insecurity and shyness about her in this first appearance. She is an outsider because she is the only one who does not have a form of history with any of the other characters. Her only relation to anyone is through her relationship with Andre. As soon as Natasha enters her insecurity and fear is realised with Olga saying how her green belt is wrong' and doesn't go with the rest of her outfit. This shows a clear dominance in power by Olga and also shows how their fashion ideas are very different. Although Natasha somewhat nonchalantly proclaims It's not really Green, though, you see, its more sort of neutral', This type of nonchalant speech is passively asserting power and control and is a trait which has to be held in importance when performing the role of Natasha successfully. In the next exchange Natasha says they are very informal here' I think she is speaking more to herself than anyone else which she also does earlier when she first enters. This is showing how she is shy on the exterior when playing this it should be played with body language as well. As in much of Chekovs work there is a lot of body language used in a naturalistic way to portray character status and general characterization. When playing Natasha in Act one it is a key element to use her body language to give off more of a shy sense -especially has she has a limited speaking role while at the table- she needs to be sitting politly but also in a way that shows she is shy and not showing the people at the table her whole self, as can be said for the whole Act. Her gestures should be small and contained because she is containing her true self in this Act and she needs to provide a sense of shyness but also passively be portraying a sense of power and control, this can be done with small subtle movements and body language.
