In today’s theatre class we started the lesson with a warm up of shake it out and Shakespeare SAH. Then we got stuck into preparing our monologues for Friday. I chose a Nurse monologue from Romeo and Juliet, I’m not worried about forgetting my lines because I’m pretty good at memorizing text. I am more worried that I’ll have to improvise my blocking on Friday because in the original, Nurse is actually talking to Juliet and Lady Capulet. I copied the translation text from the internet, so I have a pretty good understanding of what my character is going on about, basically she’s just telling stories about Juliet when she was younger, being reminiscent and repeating herself allot. After I had gone through my script allot, worked on my spacing and voice, Maggie and I decided to have a peek at possible costumes for our performances. I found this big ugly nursy labcoaty looking thing which was good enough for me. Afterwards Maggie and I critiqued each other’s works in progress. We then noticed a silence fall around us, and soon realised that a group that didn’t get to perform last Friday were performing their duologue. We snuck in to watch it at perfect timing. I hope I’ll be ready to perform on Friday, it’s just a matter of memorizing and putting effort into it.
