MONOLOGUE PROJECT
MONOLOGUE PERFORMANCE DATE – NOVEMBR 4TH
This will be our “performance project” for this semester. You will incorporate everything we’ve learned up to this point:
  • stage presence/ confidence
  • preparation
  • blocking
  • pacing
  • projection
  • enunciation
  • improv/ad libbing
  • focus on your audience
I will be grading this performance project and have a set of guidelines of what I’ll be looking for.
You will have the entire month of October to memorize the monologues, and come up with any props or costumes you wish to use to perform as well, but they’re not required. I’m more focused on your performance
Please make sure you bring a copy of your monologues each week to class, Either have a folder you bring to drama or a 3-ring binder and punch holes in it and put it in that. I prefer paper copies so you can make notes on it as we go over them.
Can’t wait to see all the performances!
