Hi,
I’ve memorised some of it, and I’ve found the beats in the piece 
(coz they were already marked)
and finding props….
I’ve begun working on the character… just trying to find out what/who he actually is
Now all i really need to figure out is what the character should wear
But other than that its all going really well

Remember, just because the beats are already marked doesn’t mean that has to be the only interpretation! Just be sure it feels right and you can justify your character’s intentions and actions….A good technique to memorise a monologue is to record it - then listen to it on your Ipod or Mp3 player. Hearing your own voice can help retain the words. The more you hear it, the easier it gets! Mandy

Simone and I have decided we will most likely do a duologue from a movie we both like, just as a back up in the event u can not find the ‘dags’ script

Well I got bored so i read it all, memorised it all, and now i can’t stop thinking about the damn thing, and i moved some of the beats… i think they work better now

hey, i did my character profile but it kinda sucks i think.. theres so many open ended situations in this play its hard to concentrate on one! im just about ready to start playing around with my improv. im finding the ‘creates a vision which examines some of the social changes in Endland between the 1910’s and 1940’s/.’ i’ll keep googling it tho.

hey mandy i was jsut wondering if you had gotten the script for table for one? i would really like to read it before going on with other questions. if you cannot find it anywhere is there somewhere you know of that i could get my hands on it?

OMFG criminology was awsm. the actors were great, and completely insync with the lighting and sound and each other. Especially the last dinner scene where they slow down and speed up and down etc. was greeeeat. and topless female actors is always a good thing too

I’m very inclined to agree with Jordan lol especially with the topless female part lol
It was very believable, the actors seemed to almost be living the story… in other words I liked it
Should definately see it again
