GOAL: Utilize memorization strategies.

DO NOW: Topeka/Bodega

OBSERVE: The Lifeboat is Sinking

Lifeboat team: What do you want to improve next with your rehearsal?

CIRCLE UP: Memorization Strategies

Read Through / Run Through: Practicing with your cast.

Personal Quiz: Independently, cover the script with paper. Recite your line, uncover the other lines until you reach another of your own lines. Continue until you reach the end.

Cast Quiz: Have the cast recite lines without looking at the script. Have an extra person (director) read lines that you stumble on.

Write Lines: Write your lines down as a way of internalizing the words.

General Tips:

-Make note of areas that are more difficult to remember, and focus on those.

-Repeat sections (3-6 lines, half a page, one page) until you have them mastered.

-Run lines with the blocking so you associate words with locations/actions. (spacial learning).

-Run lines out loud. It's easy to think you know a line, only to realize you only have the gist of it.

LOCATIONS:

Monologues --> Hallway
