January 29, 2018 - February 2, 2018 Weekly Agenda

Monday, January 29^th:

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

Questions about your scene:

1.     Where is the scene located?  Describe the location.

2.     Describe your relationship with the other character. Who is the person to you?  Is s/he a friend, a sibling? How do you feel about the other person?
