to lay out plan for the whole performance showing everything we had done and would like to do in the performance. Each scene we need to create was a scene or piece to help develop each of our mental characters. My characters scene will involve me and Dom as the psychiatrists, this would have Dom questioning my character to find out and understand my brain damage. This would be a very static but dark piece of drama as it's a chance to delve deep into the mind and ideas of brain damage as well as the many possibilities of my characters receiving brain damage.
I have done some research into ways my character could have got brain damage and their is a wide range of ways to receive brain damage from illnesses and injuries:
Hypoxia(shortage of Oxygen)
Poisoning by teratogens (including alcohol)
Infection
Neurological illness
Brain tumours can cause damage.
Common causes of focal or localized brain damage are physical trauma (traumatic brain injury, Stroke, Aneurysm, Surgery, other neurological disorder). Vascular disorders of the brain disrupt the flow of blood to the brain, resulting in a lesion called an infarct. Vascular disorders of the brain include Thrombosis (is the formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood through the circulatory system), embolisms (is the lodging of a mass, which may be a blood clot, fat globule, gas bubble or foreign material, in the bloodstream), aneurysms (is a localized, blood-filled balloon-like bulge in the wall of a blood vessel) and cerebral arteriosclerosis (is the thickening, hardening and loss of elasticity of the walls of arteries).
The effects of brain damage are that the victim experiences Delusion, speech impediments, movement problems (either struggle of movement or spasms), memory loss, Personality changes and and effect on basic knowledge like common sense.
