Session #10: Monday, February 17, 2014

Today's Agenda:

Warm-Up & Vocal Flexing: 

Improvisation Work: 

1)Scenes from Images--

3 minutes to create, then you will perform, and show the image (muse) to your audience

2) Sit, Stand, Lean

Audience gives characters, setting, and situation for 3 actors to explore, BUT one must be standing, one leaning, and one sitting at all times and these positions MUST change.  Actors will need to "set up" each other/help build by saying lines that allow others to move and change position. 

Activity/Skill Work:

THE NAME MONOLOGUES: a choice for one published or an original to perform EITHER YOU WILL:

1. Finish brainstorm, review a few professional monologues for ideas & then draft/type up the original monologue (first person POV), using the elements from the brainstorm 
2. Finish typing the character questions and begin to memorize the character monologue, using the questions to guide the creation of a character voice and body language as you memorize---DO NOT READ IT IN YOUR VOICE, PLEASE
