Okay, so today right we started class right away. We did not do any of the warm-ups beforehand that we usually do. This most likely had to do with the amount of stuff we had to do in class today. First of all we had to have some sort of monologue that we had in our repertoire prepared for class today, and we went right into the monologues. Each person gave a monologue and the purpose of this so that our professor Peter could see any bad habits we have while performing that he could help us get rid of. The monologue that I did was from The Misanthrope by Moliere and i'm really interested to see what Peter thought of it.
After our monologues, we finished up doing walks that we observed throughout our day to day life. I did the walk that I saw for the class today, and Peter said that my initial starting off point of the walk, would definitely be a very good gesture and position to keep in mind when thinking about some characters. This exercise definitely helps when it comes to trying to figure out physicalizations for a character. Observing people and finding something that works is a very good idea.
After the monologues and the walk, we talked about giving him ideas for monologues that we will be performing eventually. I have a couple ideas but I will post which one I actually get assigned to and then I will get to create a whole character paper and profile about it. I'm really looking forward to what monologue I get to work on next and even the first scene of the semester I get to work on. I'm looking forward to what Acting 2 has in hold for me next.
