Coaching de monólogo: ¡con una actriz de Broadway!

 This week is all about how to choose a monologue that is perfect for you! We will go over where to find good monologues, proper monologue length, and how to select a piece that represents you well as a performer. Students will be given a list of monologues to choose from and will be asked to select one for out next lesson. 

 Memorizing a whole monologue can feel scary. This week we will break down a series of helpful tips for memorizing our monologues. We will work on putting our monologues into our own words and developing a deep understanding of the story of our piece to aid in where we are beginning and ending. 

 We will learn all about the foundation for a monologue: Given Circumstances. We will learn the 5 w's and why they are important to know when beginning work on a piece. Students will take turns performing their pieces and we will work together to determine the given circumstances of the monologue they've selected. 

 This week is all about identifying why your character is giving your chosen monologue. Every character wants something and it is the driving force behind your piece. Once we determine what that want is, and connect it with ourselves, our pieces will begin to feel more lifelike.
