October 5

 Good afternoon, Year 11.

1. Act and react

                         Goal of acting in modern times: Be truthful in imaginary circumstances.

2. We still have a few more presentations to observe.

3.  Warm up - repetition exercise
       Sanford Meisner - the master of teaching "how to be present in the moment". . .

As you have learned, there are many ways to deliver a phrase and there are many ways to respond.  In the repetition exercise you say something truthful about the situation.  Let's take the phrase, "I feel a little uncomfortable right now."

Now, it's your turn.  Let's practice this technique.

4.  What is sense memory?  Let's discuss this . . .

5. Monologue - Now it's time to start writing our own monologue.
