NOVEMBER 19TH - 21ST
WEEKLY SCHEDULE
FOR BEGINNING ACTING


Monday, November 19th:

Vocal warm-ups.

Continue performing the “Entrance Project”.


Tuesday, November 20th:

Vocal warm-ups.

Begin working on scenes.

Please begin preparation on your “reenactment” scene. That’s where you reenact an important moment in your character’s life as it relates to the scene you are doing. For example, if you are working on a scene in which you are taking a date to the prom, then you could reenact the scene where you asked the person out (or you were asked out on the date), or you could reenact the scene where you observed the date doing something which made you reconsider going out with the person. Have fun with this and use your imagination.


Wednesday, November 21st:

Improvs!

Begin presenting your “reenactment scenes”.

Happy Turkey Day!

NOVEMBER 13TH - 16TH WEEKLY AGENDA FOR ACTING

Tuesday, November 13th:
Shortened day!
Today I will work with the last scene which has not been performed yet. The scene, THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE, which belongs to Ty and Priscilla, will be performed on Wednesday, November 14th. Remember, you must turn in your journals to get full credit for the scene.

Wednesday, November 14th:

The last two scenes, THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE and "Roommates" will be performed today. Then we’ll follow up with a critique and reflections....and maybe theatre games.

Thursday, November 15th:
Today you are to choose a moment from your character’s life and reenact it. Please prepare for this assignment. This project is for a grade. It's ALWAYS REALLY OBVIOUS when you make up stuff right there at the last moment and then try to weasel your way through the assignment. It’s boring to watch so don’t do it.

Friday, November 16th:
We will continue the reenactments. The next assignment will be the “entry” game where you as your character enter the scene from a specific place or situation. Again, give some thought, time and energy to this and other assignments because it’s really obvious when you don’t. Please don’t try to weasel your way through this assignment and think your natural cuteness will save you from boring us and getting yourself a low grade.
