one flew over the cuckkos nest audtion

 For my preparation for the one flew over the cuckoo's nest auditions, I firstly need to find a monologues. Luckly, I had a book that an old drama teacher gave me which had over 75 monologues. So, after looking over many monologues I found this one from a play called inside. It is about a workshop with 7 men who are in prison and they’ve either have issues for providing for a child or missing a father figure in his life. My monologue is about this character named is brownie and he is the “dickhead” of the group always taking the piss out of everyone else problems but in this scene he now back into a conner to confront his problems with his only mate Tommy. The context that I have gotten from my research made it even better during the preparation because it Add's more to my character. I chose this monologue is because it such a powerful scene in the play and it would be the first time that Brownie as a person has opened about his past to someone else. My progress in learning this piece was firstly splitting the monologue into 4 different sections. This was helpful because I could learn it section by section. The second part of my preparation was to find the right emotion in each section and how it could link to Brownie's past, even using inspiration from movie scene where people have been hurt or anger and emotionless as well. Finally, I added it all together, but I also need to figure out how to swiftly move between sections when it came to emotions because I did not want to switch from each emotion to fast it seemed like a robot. I practise many times over the months before the audition by myself and with my mum. 

 

During the audition, I think it went well. Kelly was impressed with my knowledge of the play inside, and one flew over the cuckoo's nest. I think it went really well but I think I could of done mainly one thing differently. I feel also amazing afterword because it thinks I just mashed it. The part that I like the Mostly was the ending, the transition when I finally lose it and just let it go was just perfecting. The part I would like to improve on if I was to-do, it again is when I bang on my chest about my father punching me, I think i could of made more of it.

 Inderpented study Week 1  Subtext Mapping The character I have chosen to Matt.  o Create a subtext map for your character in one key scene. Scene 7 the Meadow  o Divide the scene into beats and write: § What the character says. Matt in this scene is very support and creative as when the rest of the group gives up on the idea to save the stump he is behind Jay in saving the stump. Thinking of ideas until Jay comes up with the idea of starting a protest.   § What the character really means. I think Matt in this scene felt betrayed by Clarke because in the script they seem like best friends and this really break there friendship. I also feel like he sees a little hope in the situation because i think he looks up to Jay a bit as he can keep going on even though Jay has been through a lot  § How they might show this physically (e.g., gestures, posture, facial expressions). I think his Character will be very outrovert so i think in this scene he be a little...

 Task 1  (A)  I think myself as an actor has learnt so much in the first year of training at the collage but I still think there are area that will need to be work on.  Lets start with my strengths, The first area I want to look at is acting through genres, I think my strong genres for my acting is Comedy because I am very good at understand where the jokes  and comedic timing  are. Like playing Captain Hook for example working with Smee in most of our scene playing off each other, Leading onto my next strength being working and playing off other actors. Not just in Comedy but also in Dramatic plays as well I think I can work and play off well with other actors like when I play Chief Bromden and work with an actor called Callum Gordan who play R.P McMurphy when I did One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest. Another strength is my stage presents, The last year has help me understand different stage presents depending on what my role is. For example playing the role o...
