Character Profile
Character Introduction:
Encounter:
During the play, we encounter Carmen Diaz, as a self-assured, cocky Latina spitfire throughout the entire beginning part of the performance. As she boldly strides across the stage at lunchtime to ask Mr. Myers if she should miss class on Friday to audition for West Side Story as she claims that she is 'perfect' for the role of Anita which leads to Mr Myers assuring her that it will just be another part for her to hide behind Which Carmen gets enraged as she's always had the desire to dreaming of having her name in lights and crowds gasping as she walks down the street which the following song:("There She Goes/Fame!") discusses about and expresses her obsession of fame and becoming successful. Since many characters in the play acknowledge that she is manifesting to becoming a famous individual which the other students join in her imagination, and a thrilling, electrifying unison dance.
Body Language:
Her body language is consistently straight posture and her head holding high because it portrays a simple metaphor image of Carmen mostly wanting to stick out and reflect on herself and throughout this scene she confidently says "From now on I got three things to think about me myself and I" as she constantly reveals by her movements that she is an autonomous woman.
The spatial awareness between the characters allow the audience or to whom is viewing the performance to develop a clear understanding of her relationships or friendships in the musical. As the tension distance of Carmen and Mr Myers show that those two aren't on the same page since Mr Myers believe that Carmen isn't ready to face actual reality of becoming a actress.
Facial Expressions:
When anyone attempts to challenge her future plans of becoming popular and wealthy, she constantly shows a determined and stubborn demeanour. As her face becomes all scrunched up, her eyes become beady as she poorly looks upon the person who is trying to 'ruin' her career pathway to stardom.
