Lit lesson tomorrow 26 April 2007 will be in V30 for both classes.
Your goal:
There is a play production of Great Expectations coming up for Drama Nite 2008. You are auditioning for a role in the production.
To make all things equal, the audition piece for EVERYONE is:
Chapter VII, from p. 44, "One night I was sitting in the chimney corner with my slate" to end of Chapter VIII, on p. 64.
YOU can only play one character in that scene. Choose your character well.
Everyone MUST play one character, with the exception of:
1. Christine, Dir 1, another TSD student, Dir 2 07A15
2. Nadia (Dir 1), another TSD student, Dir 2 07A12
Because they are the student directors. Other than Christine and Nadia, everyone must prepare a role tonight.
EXPECTED RESULTS:
1. 0800-0830 hours: 2-3 students auditioning for each role that's up for grabs. ONLY one actor for each role will make it to first team.
2. 0830-0900: student director 1 works with the first team cast
3. 0830-0900: student director 2 works with the understudy team (those not in the first team)
4. 0900-0910: First team presents
5. 0910-0915: Understudy team presents
If actors, directors are INEXPLICABLY sub-par, Ms Chia will query all involved. It will not be a pleasant experience.
Advice:
1. Read VERY CAREFULLY Chapter VII, from p. 44, "One night I was sitting in the chimney corner with my slate" to end of Chapter VIII, on p. 64.
2. Choose ONE character
3. Know the lines spoken by the character, understand their motivation
4. Act out the lines at home one through, paying attention to mannerisms etc
5. Anticipate the other actor's action. Be aware of them too. Factor that in.
