September 25th, 2006 Agenda
for
Advanced Acting
Monday, September 25th,
Today more vocal exercises! Whoopee!
Relaxation exercises
Sense Memory and Emotion Memory exercises
As you are writing your monologue, please consider:
Look at your character’s photo.
What do “you” see when you look around in the photo?
What do “you “ hear in your environment?
What is the air like? Is it cool or warm? Is there a pleasing aroma? Or not.
Also consider:
Why are “you” there at the moment? What were the circumstances that
brought you there?
What were you doing the last ten minutes?
Who else is there in your environment?
How do you feel about the character in your environment?
What is your relationship with that person?
What is the central conflict of your life?
Tell us a story that shows this conflict. Be specific! If you are speaking of
some sort of abuse, don’t just say,”Yeah, he hurt me a lot.” Give a
specific story that illustrates the situation.
We will continue developing our monologues. This means you will get up as your character and present to us what you have developed so far. The only expectation at this point is that you have thought about this and worked on it. I do not expect perfection nor do I expect a finished product at this point. I just want to see thought and effort. The only failure that is possible with this assignment is not to do it at all, or to do it with little or no effort or thought.
Tuesday, September 26th:
Shortened day!
We need a break! THEATRE GAMES!
Wednesday, September 27th:
Vocal exercises!
Emotional and Sense Memory Exercises!
More work on developing our monologues. Remember, your grade gets a little bump if you volunteer!
Thursday, September 28th:
Today is a minimum day, which means that we will be getting out at 12:39 for “Open House”. We probably won’t meet today. I know you’re disappointed but I know you are looking forward to taking your parents to “Open House” so that I can tell them ALL ABOUT YOU! ;-)
Friday, September 29th:
We will finish up with the final developmental stage of your monologues and on Monday, we will begin presenting them. And yes, they must be memorized.

Assignment: Choose someone who you know and see on a regular basis. No names, please, and no judgments! You are going to “become” that person for one to two minutes. For one to two minutes you are going to move through the world as that person, see the world through that person’s eyes, hear the world through that person’s ears, etc. I want you to really look at the world as that person would. I don’t care who that person is - as long as it’s not me - and I want you to consider how that person became who he or she is and what it is like being in the “skin” of that person.
I want you to write down the person’s age, gender, ethnicity, probable occupation, position in society, educational level, level of comfort with herself/himself, extrovert/introvert, any physical disabilities or health issues.
For one to two minutes you will be that person, performing a task or involved in a situation.
Remember, no judgments! Just be!
