January 22, 2018 - January 26, 2018 Weekly Agenda


Monday, January 22nd: 
Please get out a sheet of paper, a pen, and your script and begin copying your script.  Please write your script – both your part and your partner’s lines – in the same format as it appears in your script. The purpose of this is to help you both learn your lines – professional actors do this – and to understand the rhythm of the scene. There is a kinesthetic connection between the hand and the brain that helps imprint information. 

After you have finished copying out your script, take a photo of your script. 
Then begin writing your character's biography! 

Passed out additional scripts:
“13 Ways to Ruin Your College Interview”
Ublester and David
