If you want to be Aragorn... continue memorizing your lines!! :D
Thank you for all of the work that you've been putting into this. Because of you we're on track to having a wonderfully practiced performance!
We have memorized almost half of the play in only two weeks! Which is amazing!!!
The next few scenes/acts aren't divided as nicely as the last ones we've been doing. So instead of me giving you a few scenes to memorize by this Thursday, I'm giving you two weeks to have all of your lines from Act 3 scene 2 to the end of Act 4 memorized.
I REPEAT: You have two weeks to have all of your lines that are contained in Act 3 scene 2 to the end of Act 4 memorized. (Pages 29 to 53.)
I'm trusting all of you to not procrastinate. And in order for you to say "yes" when we ask you if you did your homework you will need to have spent at least one hour on your lines each week. Unless you are someone with very few lines, (some of the fairies and actors) and in that case just make sure you're solid.
Included in that one hour needs to be your lines that you've already memorized. That way we can keep them fresh! ;)
In class we'll continue working on blocking the first 2 acts.
If you balance your homework by memorizing one or two new lines a day then you should be on track to have it finished on time, and you won't be as stressed out as the time comes closer. :)
NOTE: As you're memorizing remember to apply the tips you've been getting in class (blocking, voice tone and inflection, etc). It will help you a lot in the long run if you apply those early on in your practicing.
I cannot even emphasize how impressed we've been with all of you. Thank you so so so much for working with us and meeting your deadlines. You're wonderful!
Sincerely,
The Shakespeare People.
