Progress in Solo project

In the past weeks, I have really begun to explore the character "Ed" for my solo piece. I have been experimenting a lot with the "magic if" method to build on the characters' emotions and trying to find what sets him off. During class I've been guided a lot by my "mentor" Olivia, she has helped me find the words, the emotions, and the stage directions for my performance. And with the magic if being implemented for my preparations it is all coming together nicely. In the beginning, I did not have a lot of ideas for my solo project. But over the past 2 weeks, I have had an overload of ideas. Now it is simply a process of elimination to get to where I want. I am swinging between staging the performance as an interrogation, a confession or a direct conversation between Ed and his son. If I did it as an interrogation I would have him sit center stage and start talking slowly about his wrongdoing. If done as a confession I want him to stand center stage and use the lights (Left, center, Right) as the truth he doesn't want to confess to. Then when he says the line " I killed Wellington" all the lights will light up the entire stage and he will have a moment of extreme realization of what he just said. If I do it as a conversation I will have him on stage with the light just turned blue and do the monologue.
