NOVEMBER 20th SCHEDULE
FOR
ADVANCED ACTING

Monday, November 20th:

I will not be with you today. I WILL be on campus but I won’t be able to be in class with you. So that means you will have a sub and I want you all to be on your very best behavior (which I’m sure you will be anyway, because you are all so smart and mature).

Everyone MUST have a scene and a scene partner today! If your scene partner is not here, then please stay inside, memorize your lines and/or work on “Person, Place, or Thing” journals.


Tuesday, November 21st:

Today we will see Jennifer and Byron’s scene, and Joseph and Monique’s scene, which we will videotape, and critique.

I will then work on Blanca and Mariela’s scene which will be presented on Wednesday.


Wednesday, November 22nd:

Today we will see Blanca and Mariela’s scene! Then the actors who presented this week will view the tape and write a reflective journal on their work.

I will work with Joseph and Alex today on their scene. They will present their scene on Tuesday, November 28th.

NOVEMBER 6TH
WEEKLY SCHEDULE
FOR
ADVANCED ACTING

The above link is for Joseph and Monique!

Monday, November 6th:

Today we will see SUBURBAN MOTEL perform. The scene will be videotaped and the class will critique and turn in their critiques for credit.

LONE STAR and AGNES OF GOD will also be videotaped but without an audience. The other actors will rehearse their scenes outside.

The actors will then watch the videotape of their performance and write a reflective journal on their work.


Tuesday, November 7th:

If you have performed your scene then you must find a new scene to do.
And yes, you have to do the journals for your new scene - you haven’t won your “Tony” or your “Oscar” yet. The journals are: “The Person, Place and Thing”, “A Day in the Life of....” and the “Biography”. When you present your scene you must present your journals and no, half a page of crumpled, scrawled writing is not going to get you anything higher than a “D”.

Today we will continue to do the “Waiting” exercise where - according to Uta Hagen - no one ever just waits. Remember the history, the given circumstances, the objectives while you “wait”.

Voice and sense and memory exercises....you know the routine.

Today, THE ACTORS are up!


Wednesday, November 8th:

Same as Tuesday but maybe some theatre games thrown in!

Today I will work with THE ACTORS.


Thursday, November 9th:

THE ACTORS will perform their scene today. Their scene will be videotaped and the other actors will critique the performace and turn in the critiques for credit. After their performance, the actors will watch the videotape of their work and write a self-reflective journal on how they felt they did.
