INTERMEDIATE ACTING
WEEKLY ASSIGNMENT
FOR
JUNE 2, 2008


MONDAY, JUNE 2nd:

Alonzo and Tricia will perform their memorized monologues today. Just so there is no confusion: these monologues were given quite some time ago and are from a published script.

Tape the AMAZING scene Terence Meadows wrote, and performed on Friday, with assistance from Edvin, Ahmad, Richard, David and Alex. Brilliant work, Terence! Bravos to all who worked on the scene!

Finish the second go round with the photo monologues. Just so there is no misunderstanding: this assignment, which most of you have already done, is to simply read to me what you have written as the character. It should be about three minutes long and should be written as if you are the character and you are speaking to someone about some issue or conflict in your character’s life. Everyone who has read her/his photo-based, self-written monologue has done a good job. If you have already read yours to me then begin rewriting according to the critiques and then commit to memory - in other words, memorize it. You will definitely perform your monologue this week. Become the character!


TUESDAY, JUNE 3rd:

Start performing the self-written and MEMORIZED photo-based monologues.


WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4th:

Finish up the self-written and MEMORIZED photo-based monologues.

THURSDAY, JUNE 5th:

A little breather: theatre games.

Begin working on the senior scenes. Senior fails need to be turned in on Friday, June 13th, and since seniors leave earlier in the semester, it is therefore necessary that I work with the seniors first. So I will work with Julius and Lauren today on their scene, WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?


FRIDAY, JUNE 6th:

Continue working with Julius and Lauren.

Start working with David and Terence on TRUE WEST.

The rest of you work with your scene partners on your scenes.
