my performince today went

I think it went ok I was kind of nervous and panicking a bit like I always do but I tried not to rush it and I do think I did not rush it has much as I did last time. My voice and blocking was all over as well man.  A part from me not rushing as much as I think I did everything worse, but that might just be me. I tried to do my blocking I did last time but I did not go when I was supposed to. I went a little more over to the right than I did last time and I do not think I did as much of an emotional voice and jesters as I did last time. I am sure I was loud enough for everyone to hear me.

I feel I did not put enough emotion into it like I did last time, or if I did put any into it, it did not come out strong enough.
that is all.

what I think about my charactor in my scene/monologue

When I'm doing my monologue I find that he is a bit upset by this point about what he did because of her falling in love with Bottom with the ass head on but he has enjored it a lot messing around with her for instest when he welcomes robin aka puck he's like look at what I did how great is this but then he's like look at this hateful fool and is like well I don't quite like her being in love with this mortal with a ass head on but it's stil la bit funny
I do see him has a stroung charctor but he is still mischafes and enjoyed messing around with Titina.

In my scene after the monologue I do which is my scene lol anyway I find oberon is a bit like on the first line "there lies your lover" he his like rubbing in like look what I did this was fun but then he's like puck get this mortal out of my sight I'M SICK of it so he does kind of feel guilty or joulesy because of what he's done but then he's like well now I have the changling boy I can make up with titnia now and make everything all right.

Did my prestiotion yesterday

I did my prestion yesterday on my monologue and scene watch are in the same play at the same point. I have to admit knowing about what was going on during the time like the spanish amada getting dosteryed by the british made the british happy so this might have inspared him has well has magic and magicail cratures still extected. knowing about the class system and costume would tell you about what the costome people would have worn like oberon and others. Knowing how they would have acted is also good but also doing the prestion alsoi ment I had to look into the play in death witch give me what people was like in the play and what my charactor is like.

Monologue with movement in it (updated/ideas/1st marking)

The monolgue is in red and the movement is in black or () in the brackets
I come In from the back and say my girst two lines. (might do this slower a bit and a little bit more glutting)
Welcome, good Robin. See'st thou this sweet sight?
Her dotage now I do begin to pity: 
I then don't start my other bit until I get about center stage (or the chair I used)
For, meeting her of late behind the wood,
Seeking sweet favours This bit I look at Titina with a sweet voice
from this hateful fool, Then look at a bottom with angry voice stright after
Then look foward again I did upbraid her and fall out with her;
I kneel behind her head here
For she his hairy temples then had rounded
With a coronet of fresh and fragrant flowers;
And that same dew, which sometime on the buds
Was wont to swell like round and orient pearls,
Stood now within the pretty flowerets' eyes here once I say stood I knell next to her on the left looking at her you make a hand action like you moving her hair out of her eyes
Like tears that did their own disgrace bewail. When you say bewail you look at puck
For the next 5 lines you say this like your gloating to puckWhen I had at my pleasure taunted her when you start this line you get back up with a grin on your face and walk towards puck so your behind puck or in the middle of the two
And she in mild terms begg'd my patience, (make it look like this was fun to do)I then did ask of her her changeling child;
Which straight she gave me, and her fairy sent
To bear him to my bower in fairy land.
And now I have the boy, I will undo when you start this line you start getting a bit more serous
This hateful imperfection of her eyes: when you say this you look at Titina and a bit angry
And, gentle Puck, when you talk to puck you say it very gentle
 take this transformed scalp but with this bit you look at Bottom angry
From off the head of this Athenian swain; still a bit angry
That, he awaking when the other do, when you start this you calm down and talk a bit more calmer
May all to Athens back again repair
You do the next 2 lines a bit slower and calmer with a small grin/smile on your face
And think no more of this night's accidents
But as the fierce vexation of a dream.
you do a quick pause and then continue
But first (another quick puase) I will release the fairy queen.Ok here you bend down next to Titina again and make it look like you put something in her eye or cast a spell
Be as thou wast wont to be;
See as thou wast wont to see:
Dian's bud o'er Cupid's flower
Hath such force and blessed power.
Now, my Titania; wake you, my sweet queen. ok when you say "Now" you stand up slowly and finish the line.

The scene

We could not do the scene today because people where missing so we could not rehears or do the scene infront of the toutors to see how it was.

Did Monologue and got feed back

I did my monologue infront of my toutors today and got a few feedback. One was I rushed I did relize this I couldb not slow down proubly nervous or proubly just wanted to get it done and over with but I had no idea I tried to consterte and slow it down but I couldn't well I have to work on that greatly by trying to keep came and trying to think about talking slowly and the 2nd was my speech I know it was halfy because I rushed that they could not understand me the other hard is my speech anyway so I just need to slow down which wull improve it and the other keep going over the words so I can say them better.but I did get good feedback too one being my movements, expressions and staging.

The scene

I have not talk about the scene much so I will now:

1. The scene is act 4 scene 1
2. I would this is cut in two pieces tho it is just one scene
3. one being Bottom with the fiarys and Titania and the other being Puck, Oberon, and Titania
4. I'm in the secound part had Oberon has I siad before I think

Anyway back to business for the first part me and puck are going to look out the back curtins looking at Titania and Bottom after this they will fall asleep and then me and puck come on this is where my monologue would be but it was cut for the scene being to long so I just say the last 5 lines.

info

well i just thought I would talk about the other thing I was doing, my powerppoint and for that we had to look at the play and scenes we did and talk about what happened at the time and what was going on.
so when I was looking I found a good website:
http://www.elizabethan-era.org.uk/elizabethan-theatre.htm
It gives you alot of info about what was going what it was like thatres, acters, costomes and much more.
and with this info i can look at what the play was in that time and see what I could add if anything

oh yeah and I was thinking since I'm Oberon I should wear black clothing since I think that is what best suits him it is mostly night in  the play and he would sneck around better and most plays this is what he wears I know he is the king of the fiarys but earthly colours to me does not suit him at all.

feedback

Yesterday we did monlogues for the afternoon and then did it infront of my tutor and got some feedback from it which where

1. To get my tougue around the words so aka punction again so  i jusy need to keep saying the words and make sure i can speak them proubly
2. and to put in some pauses
3. and look at the blocking a tiny bit where i say " for her hairy temples had rounded" where i might want to bend down there instead of "stood within"

So I'm going to look at my script again look at what i can make better blocking, jesting, body movement, where I look and where I move and where Titina and Bottom are has well has Puck.

Monologue with movement in it

The monolgue is in red and the movement is black just so you know
I come In from the back and say my girst two lines.
Welcome, good Robin. See'st thou this sweet sight?
Her dotage now I do begin to pity: 
I then don't start my other bit until I get about center stage (or the chair I used)

For she his hairy temples then had rounded
With a coronet of fresh and fragrant flowers;
And that same dew, which sometime on the buds
Was wont to swell like round and orient pearls,
For the last 4 lines you mostly look at the front put somtimes to your right so it still looks like your talking to puckbut staying near Titina
Stood now within the pretty flowerets' eyes are here once I say stood I knell next to her on the left looking at her
Like tears that did their own disgrace bewail. When you say bewail you look at puck
For the next 5 lines you say this like your gloating to puckWhen I had at my pleasure taunted her when you start this line you get back up with a grin onj your face
And she in mild terms begg'd my patience,
I then did ask of her her changeling child;

Now, my Titania; wake you, my sweet queen. ok when you say Now you stand up and finish the line.

Right so lets see

Well today we had a long time to do our monlogues or scenes but no one really wanted to do the scene after we did it twice, ok three times so we mostly ended up doing our monologues because of the feed back i thought i need to know my monologue and kept saying it over and over again out loud kind of so at least i know i know it now so next i was trying to work out how to do it. First i just did it on the spot around a chair pretending that on the left well my left when facing the audince Titania was there and Bottom on my right and puck right of bottom a bit.
So next i acted it out ok my punctuation and speech i think still needs work because I can't say the words very well still, but I had been doing the monologue over and over again so i can get them right, anyway I started off behind the chair talking to puck and facing forward as much has possible, when I say "Seeking sweet favours" I look at Titania with a sweet voice and then I look at Bottom in a angry voice on "from this hateful fool," then when i talk about the "stood within the pretty" I kneel down next to Titania and then get back up when i talk about how "she in mild terms begg'd my patience" then I look at puck again and talk about how she give me the child and sent a fairy to bear to my bower in fairyland. then I look at Titina again when I say "And now I have the boy, I will undo This hateful imperfection of her eyes:" In a sweet voice and look at puck and then Bottom and then back to the front until I say "But first I will release the fairy queen." and I look at Titina and kneel down next to and say my next few lines look like I'm putting in some juice in her eye and then get back up when I say "Now, my Titania; wake you, my sweet queen."
I will put a script up of my monolouge with some of the stage directions on.

other stuff

Video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOsMX2X4RxI&feature=related

This is funny it kind of tells the basics of the story of the play, well just watch it, it's funny anyway oh yeah it does kind of miss out a part of the play which is first part of act 4 scene 1. lasts about 4 mins he is just messing on like.

But, it still gives a good outline of the play in a wierd way. I was researching about what was going on when my play was writen and I already knew that there were no female actors, and they would use young boys, but most of them died because of the make up being lead based which I did not know.

Title

hmmm... so on wednesday we had an hour to learn our monologues. I actully rembered it all but when I got up to do it I was not feeling well, got nervous and forgot it all, well that is like me but I did get feedback so I guess it was good.
The feedback was to be stronger when I do it and that I was great at the start but then got worse onwards, and had to finish the end of lines and not make them go nowhere, so I now need to get better and make sure I can rember all my lines on stage, once I do that I can probably start making my monologue better.

I was searching and found this

while looking for a scene I was doing relating to my monologue I  found this video of some people trying to change the words into something people would understand, but I found it more difficult to understand  than shakespeare's dialogue. Half the words seemed to change to something that had nothing to do with anything.

There where a few things I noticed that were wrong about Orebon's monologue

1. Who is he talking too? thought he was supposed to be telling this to puck?  Noticed puck did not come on when he was should have come on  lol....
2. why is he saying the flowers are crying because there on Bottoms head, but he is supposed to be talking about Titania not Bottom
3. I'm pretty sure there adding in words
4. They have shorted  loads of lines
5. Truthfully they have done a good job modenising it but the way Orebon talks does not seem very good and half the words do not sound right together

watched a something on youtube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gleDhAQcYJ0

In this they do act 4 scene 1 this where my monologue  is from and is also the scene I'm doing while watching. I thought it was a really good idea what they do in it, I mean the way TITANIA wakes up is good, how she says the line and laughs until Oberon shows her 'Bottom' and they way she does it seems real I have to admit as well but after that I noticed he skips a few lines

they miss out the bits in the brackets

Silence awhile. Robin, take off this head.

Titania, music call; (and strike more dead

Than common sleep of all these five the sense)

was working on monologue today

Was working on my monologue and got into a group of four and each of us explained what their monologue was about and how we were doing and how to modenise it to make it easier to undersand. I tried to read it without the script and if I get stuck I say the line I forgot over and over again this helps me, someone else writes it down and another splits it up, after this we said what our characters are like,  mine is Oberen and I find him to be a bit bossy and wanting his own way, he also gets angry and does whatever he likes to get what he wants. We then all did our monologue in front of everyone else and got feedback, mine was my speaking,  I could not get my tongue around the words and I know i need more Confidence since I was nerves and forgot the words and had to read from a script.

what I have been up too

Yesterday I got my scene I was going to be doing  it with other people I'm getting on with on it this is a scene from Midsummer Nights Dream it is act 4 scene 1 where Bottom is getting served by the fairies and then when they fall a sleep, Oboran undoes the spell and makes up with Titania. if you have not seen A Midsummers Night Dream then watch these videos on the link it gives you a word but there a videos down the right hand side there are 10 of them.  Today we did a bit more on our scene and the monologue I'm doing in the same scene when Oboran is telling puck what he was doing and feeling like.
