DRAMA 1
Now that we've developed a solid routine that includes a vocal warm-up and exploration of Fitzmaurice "destructuring," we'll continue our routine every day this week and build upon it, adding in further practice with "structured" breathing. Please be sure to bring/wear comfortable dress out clothes every day this week. We are nearing the point where I'd like to introduce text into our process, so please remember that you should have a monologue selected and memorized by Friday of this week.
DRAMA 2
On Tuesday, you will be allowed time to rehearse the full "True West" scene. If anyone is anxious to perform the full scene in class that day, I will allow time at the end of the period for you to do so. Otherwise, 4th block will begin full scene performances on Wednesday and those will continue into Thursday. After viewing those performances, I will determine if it would be beneficial for the class to have more rehearsal time with an eye toward a final round of scene performances, or if we are ready to move on to writing monologues. 2nd block will have voice class with Ms. Cook on Wednesday (please bring/wear comfortable dress out clothes that day) and will complete full scene performances on Thursday and Friday.
DRAMA 3
Great job on our first film/TV scene! We'll review the footage on Tuesday and allow for class feedback. We will also assign jobs and block our next scene. On Wednesday, you will have voice class with Ms. Cook, so please bring/wear comfortable dress out clothes that day. Please also remember that your written script analysis for your film/TV scenes is due on Wednesday. On Thursday, we will begin shooting our next scene and will review the footage in class on Friday. We will continue scheduling scenes on a volunteer basis for the time being, but I would like for all students to have their scenes memorized and ready to perform no later than Thursday of next week, in the event of schedule changes/student absences.
DRAMA 4 (Wednesday Only)
We will review the footage from the scene we shot last week and allow for class feedback. We will then begin shooting our next scene and will discuss our shooting schedule going forward.
Have a great week, everyone!
