WEEKLY SCHEDULE
FOR BEGINNING ACTING
WEEK OF NOVEMBER 15TH



Monday, November 15th:

Please turn in your “favorite actor” homework. If we have time, we will share a few of these - maybe three or four.

Vocal warm-ups and emotion and memory exercises.

Work with your partner today. You now need to move around as your character and to come up with some blocking on your own. You need to run through your scene in its entirety four times with your partner with movement.

I will work with:

De’Jong Cockrell
Alisa Alayan

Tuesday, November 16th:

I will not be here today, but before you get too excited, I am putting you on notice that if you behave the way you did the last time with the substitute, there will be SERIOUS consequences! You will watch a video which you will have to take notes on and which will be collected at the end of the period. if you do not turn in adequate notes, then you will receive an “F” for the day. If the substitute gives me your name as a trouble maker or as uncooperative then you will receive an “F” for the day, a phone call home and a trip to the dean. For those of you who are wonderful and mature, (Alisa, Laura, Dakota, etc. you know I don’t mean you!)


Wednesday, November 17th:

We may share two or three more of your favorite actors.

Continue working on “People, Places, Things” on your script where you write a half a page description of any people, places or things you or your partner talks about in the script.

I will work with:

Musee des Beaux Arts  W. H. Auden About suffering they were never wrong, The old Masters: how well they understood Its human position: how it takes place While someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along; How, when the aged are reverently, passionately waiting For the miraculous birth, there always must be Children who did not specially want it to happen, skating On a pond at the edge of the wood: They never forgot That even the dreadful martyrdom must run its course Anyhow in a corner, some untidy spot Where the dogs go on with their doggy life and the torturer's horse Scratches its innocent behind on a tree. In Breughel's Icarus, for instance: how everything turns away Quite leisurely from the disaster; the ploughman may Have heard the splash, the forsaken cry, But for him it was not an important failure; the sun shone As it had to on the white legs disappearing into the green Water, and the expensive delicate ship that must h

Hamlet, Act 2, Scene 1

Hamlet Act 2, Scene 1: In this scene Polonius is giving instructions to his servant Reynaldo to spy on Laertes, his son, in Paris. (Again, note the theme of spying) Polonius is giving Reynaldo money to give to his son, but tells him to “to make inquire of his behavior”. “Inquire me first what Danskers are in town….” This is an example of elision or omission of words (words are intentionally left out to insure the lines scan in iambic pentameter.) What word or words are left out? Dansker: Danes Polonius tells Reynaldo to inquire about Laertes’ behavior in a roundabout general way: “encompassment and drift of question” and by this way will arrive at the truth faster and more completely than by asking directly (“…come you more nearer / Than your particular demands will touch it.”) Do you think that’s true?
