Why do we care?

If you don’t care, we don’t care. Every character needs some motivation, point of view, or something to fight for. It can be almost anything, but you need an objective. That clash of characters' motives is what drives the scene. Explore how playing with emotional investment, commitment, and heightening, can help you make strong choices you can hold onto while supporting your scene partner.
