Devyn and I performed our scene for the class. We had monologues the same day, so it was a busy weekend prepping for it. We spent several hours this weekend blocking our scene in the classroom -- only to later decide to perform outside since we didn't have a tree. Devyn and I have practiced outside several times as well, so it wasn't a big deal. I think it all went all right. I had fun performing and am looking forward to seeing pictures of the performance.
My monologue didn't go quite as well, in my opinion. I got really nervous and flubbed my lines at the beginning, and needed to start over. This whole semester we've been working on scenes, and acting with a partner. The monologue was sort of an afterthought, and I think that if I worked hard at it, as I did with the scene, I could become better with my monologue delivery. It helped to receive Francis's feedback -- he said it's important for monologues to have a beginning, middle, and end. It is like a 90 second performance. We need to be able to show that we are capable of putting on a dramatic show on our own. I didn't really understand all this prior to performing, but now I do. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing the Frankie & Johnny people perform tomorrow. Break a leg!!
