Monologue work Day one

Thursday 13 March 2008

Well, today I was very late for class, and i found out i was assigned to Pritina who is to be my director for my monologue. I must say, i couldn't have picked a tougher one to do...

In our group there's myself, Anshu and this other chick Elizabeth who hasn't been to a single TA 101 class and so we're like wondering who she is... wonder upon wonders, she actually turns up for the class and well i think she's pretty cool. we ended up sitting down and working through some stuff with Pritina.

First Pritina had us look each other in the eye and tell them how much we loved them, my partner was Elizabeth and so i was like: Elizabeth, you know that we've been friends for a long time and there's no beating around the bush with you. there's something i have to say and well, it's not that easy to do... I LOVE YOU."

OMG!!! i never knew it could be sooo simple, but then later i would find out how hard it can be to keep yourself in character... Elizabeth had to do the same thing to Anshu who did it then to me... the exercise was pretty good and it got me a thinking about how i could work out my character for the monologue and also how i could better play that character.

We finished class early with plans to meetup and also Pritina reminded us to start working on memorising our lines for the monologue. God i hope i can do it.
