Early morning with Rob we did various amounts of work, but of course we started off with the usual warm ups saying Oo Ar Or loud strong and clear to get our articulation going. Half the class got separated and we had a face off with tongue twisters the two different groups had to say them as loud as we can and the loudest group wins it was funny because it was something you would see on a Tv show but after that we started to Rehearse our lines but this time with a bit of a twist to it.. we had to say it in as many emotions we could for example sad , happy , with grief and it is interesting to see how a Greek play can be used in different emotions and still mange to be good. Then we all did a fun exercise in which we had to go over our lines and rob would shout out a theme for us to do while we act for example romantic comedy in which we would sort of flirt or 1940's French and put an accent or something french people would do in that time, it was funny watching everyone do it and it was quite fun acting it out as well. When we finished that we all sat down and Rob got people who wanted to be in the next exercise to go in a hat and pick out the emotions and the actors would have to say their part in the script and when an emotion gets called out quickly change into it and act as the way it is suited to what was being said. We had a short 15 minute break and when we got back we did a questionnaire about Greek plays and where put into the different groups that we are doing our plays on we marked each others groups score and my group had a total of 11/ 17 which was not too bad. Later on at 2 we had Sharon and we had to do our monologues, for what reason? I have no clue but it was not as bad as it seemed i was not as shy as i thought i would be which a good thing and everyone acted        out their monologues brilliantly,my monologue was Medea written by Euripides and is about a woman who got cheated on her husband and wanted to take serious revenge on him so she decides to kill her sons.
