Theatre 2206

Today we began working with a script!!!!

Journals were submitted and collaborative annotated reading of script to use inferencing to draw out characterization was begun.....we will continue this tomorrow...

Start journal - how did you feel about character selection?  What would you have done differently?

Plan the remaining scene out in your mind in preparation for next class.

Tomorrow we will be doing our collaborative monologue in class for assessment.  Also, your journal on "story" is due - reflect on how you tell stories, how you come up with stories, are personal stories easier than made up stories?

Next week is work on the commercial - will be assessed at end of next week.

First half class next day - finish with Statues Activity; second half we will complete lip synch make-ups...

Lip-synch contest Tuesday!  Bring in music, costume and choreography ready to ROCK!!!!!

For tomorrow have a song title and idea for presentation for the lip synch contest - will take place by end of the week.  Then we will focus our energies on getting the Gulliver Mulligan script ready.

We did an activity on scene build up and improv - thanks Chris - and worked on the script for Gulliver Mulligan.

We worked on our Henry dramatic monologues today.  Tomorrow we will continue to do so and presentations of memorized monologues are Monday.

Next class you will be presenting your dramatic readings in the aula.  You will be marked on: projection, enunciation/diction and expressiveness (of speaker voice).

The second half of class you will be working on annotating your King Henry monologues.

You will have the following class to work on Gulliver Mulligan, while memorizing the Henry monologue at home.  The class following you will rehearse your monologues together in pairs.  We will present the memorized Henry monologues in four classes.

Today students presented their mannerisms/expressions and received a mark.  We also did an activity on projection and students presented their poems - due Friday - for dramatic reading.

Two classes ago we presented our Tongue Twisters as part of our work on Vocalization.

Last class we did some work on character and you were assigned two things:

1. 'find' three mannerisms/traits in the school and bring them back to class.  be ready to tell us what 'traits' you think those mannerisms express - not to whom they belong!

2. find a poem/dramatic work/excerpt of no less than 15 lines and bring it to class: you will have to memorize it and recite it to the class from the stage.  Part of the marks will include the 'voice' that is used.

We then worked on our play prep.

Personal Journal - due next Monday 18th.

Current work on Childrens' Story - discussion to select story, decide on set, costume, etc.
