General Information
TOPIC FIVE- The Rehearsal Process
Class Work:
You will take the information you have learned and now place into a rehearsal process. The class will now become more of a project laboratory based class that becomes structured for the individual. This process involves in depth memorization and rehearsal protocols that need to be understood so that you and your scene partner may accomplish your goal of presenting a good scene.
Reading Assignment:
Please write about the following prompts in your journal by Friday:

How can I become better a memorizing?
