Meeting #6 & #7

Last week we practiced cold readings for auditions. In small groups actors read a monologue, "Smelly Pants." At the end everyone read 2-3 paragraphs with expression.

This week actors split into pairs and each group chose a short scene. Groups will memorize and perform scenes next week. Ms. Avery and Mr. Dobell talked about some memorization strategies. By yourself chunk the script; once you have the first part memorized then work on the second and so on. With a partner, one person can read with the person trying to memorize. We are excited to watch the subtle comedy and dramatic twists. Break a leg!
