This week we were able to discuss our play further and the students are currently thinking of doing our own version of the Wizard of Oz except it will be the Wizard in Candyland!
We watched our first two performers: Zoe and Alina. Zoe sang a song and Alina read a monologue that she wrote from the perspective of her cat. Typically a monologue is a performance piece that is a memorized piece that is acted from one character's point of view. However, we are open to creativity in this class from seasoned actors. Younger actors could also choose to do a dramatic reading.
We were also able to discuss the first chapter in the book: Respect for Acting about setting acting goals. This week each person in the class should set their own personal acting goals.
I am also taking my oldest son to the play: Midsummer Night's Dream this upcoming Friday if you would like any of your children to go, please let me know immediately. Just remember that this is a Shakespeare play and requires mature audience members.
Thanks for the fun these last couple of weeks! One hour is just not enough time :)
From,
Teacher Leiloni
