Weekly Schedule
for Beginning Acting
Monday, October 29th:
We need to quickly finish up the first round of scenes by this week!
So, if you haven’t gone up yet - you will this week.
Today and everyday this week, I will try to fit in two, possibly three scenes to work with.
You must have your lines memorized, and have created blocking and characterization when I work with you this week - after all, you’ve had these scenes now for a month so you must have something to show for it, right? Right!
The following scenes will be seen this week:
RITES
JIMMY DEAN, JIMMY DEAN
THE DANCE
DESPERATE
HEY THERE!
LILIOM
BLACK KNIGHT
THE ROOMMATE
CHEATING
If your scene partner bails on you, then you must find someone else to do the scene with or accept a fail for the assignment.
We will attempt to do all the scenes on Thursday and Friday of this week!
Tuesday, October 30th - Wednesday, October 31st:
Work with two - three scenes per day.
Continue rehearsing your scene until I get to you.
Remember, the scene should be memorized with blocking, characterization and props.
Remember that your journals are due the day you do your scene.
For those of you who have already performed your scene, then find another scene with another scene partner by Monday, October 29th. Please write down your name, your partner’s name, the scene you are doing, and give this information to me.
Thursday, November 1st and Friday, November 2nd:
Turn in your journals, perform scenes, observe the video of your scene and write a self-reflection.

October 8th - 12th Agenda for Beginning Acting
OCTOBER 8TH - OCTOBER 12TH
WEEKLY SCHEDULE
FOR
BEGINNING ACTING
Monday, October 8th:
I am not going to be here today, so please work on your scenes with your partner. If your partner is not here, then please stay inside and work on your journals and/or learn your lines.
Please be aware that when you perform your scene you must present your acting notebook. The notebook should include the “Who-What-Where-How” journals and the “Day in the Life” journals.
I have noticed that many of you are not writing the journals, so when I ask you a specific question, I still get the, “I dunno. The script doesn’t say....” Please bear in mind that the journals are a major grade and that they DO help you in the creation of your character. I DON’T want to ask you again to describe the girlfriend who just broke up with you and hear, “I dunno - the script doesn’t say.”
YOU create the reality of your character by writing and transferring the emotional memories of your life to what is applicable to your character’s life.
Tuesday, October 9th:
Shortened day!
Warm-ups!
Vocal and physical warm-ups.
Emotion and sense memory exercises.
Work on “A Day in the Life of” journal.
Today I will work with one scene. Everyone else work on your scenes with your scene partner - that means running your scene once as a warm-up, and then four more times with blocking and business, and exploring the characters.
As part of your assignment, look for photos (from magazines, the internet) that remind you of certain things in your character’s life. If you like to draw and your drawings can adequately show aspects from your character’s life, then you may draw sketches. The sketches or photos or pictures can represent such aspects of your character’s life as his/her home, family, friends, your character's home town and/or the workplace, etc.
