What is writing about rehearsal (the AO2 habit)?Show answer
In the written papers, name the technique and finish with what it achieves. Not "we would do hot-seating," but "I would hot-seat the performer playing the accused to build a back-story for their fear, so their vocal hesitation and avoidance of eye contact in the scene are motivated, and the audience reads genuine anxiety." The achievement is the AO2.
