         <description><![CDATA[<div>William Shakespeare lived through: 23rd April 1564 until 23rd April 1616. Shakespeare was 52 when he passed. He wrote over thirty-six plays, sonnets and so on. His plays were divided into: comedies (happy ending), tragedies (bad ending), and history (based on historic events). Examples of such plays are listed the left. Many of Shakespeare's plays were biased (history plays), because Shakespeare wrote for queen Elizabeth the first. As he wrote for her, telling the tales of her and her family's history. Of course the Tudor queen wanted her family to look like the good guys, so her family had the upper hand. She wanted her family portrayed in a positive light, and her enemies (A.K.A Richard) to be the bad guy(s). Because of this Shakespeare wrote his plays in a way that made Richard look bad, and Elizabeth and her family looking good. Shakespeare was a free-lance playwright from 1589-1594, so he was self employed and wrote through his own choice and enjoyment. Shakespeare became the Lord Chamberlain's playwright in 1594, and he remained that way until 1603. He was the appointed the King's man/playwright in 1603, later in 1616 he retired. </div>]]></description>

         <title>What Style Of Shakespeare Monologue Did I End Up With?</title>
         <author>hannahnicole323</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/hannahnicole323/r0wht66giuz1/wish/127026890</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>I ended up choosing a comedy monologue. I prefer the plays that Shakespeare wrote, that have a happy ending. Also no other play from the other categories stood out to me like: "All's Well That Ends Well". I chose Helena's confession monologue, in Act I, scene iii. It stood out to me, unlike many others that I read of Shakespeare. The meaning of the title of this play is: the situation is happy, no matter what past endeavours have created. Basically, if all is well, it will end well.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Two people Polly and Norman, use a black remote for a big flat screen TV, they're not sure what it's use it but they play with it anyway. Polly was told that she was not to use it. However, she disobeyed her parents orders, and pressed buttons on it. The next scene is a fantasy of three creatures entering the world, one good one bad. Polly let's out the bad creature and Norman let's out the good creature. However, i'm not all too sure how the third got out. Possibly, when she says she let the wrong creature out...two could have been released without her noticing. As it is not explained in the monologue how a third one got out. Norman, let the right creature out, the right creature being, Nono.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I changed my contemporary monologue from Seventeen to The Black Remote because, Seventeen was not challenging enough. Also I could not find any background information on Seventeen, as far as the internet was concerned...it didn't exist. So I changed it to The Black Remote, as it stood out more to me and caught my interest. It caught my interest because it is based on the myth of Pandora's box. It is a fantasy play/monologue, with intriguing creatures that are released, and they bring things to life.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I adore the ability to step into somebody’s else’s shoes; I love to be a character and step into their life and out of mine. There are many, many different tales to be told and I find it fascinating that someone like me can step between all these countless realities and perspectives. Especially when these realities have elements similar to my own personal experiences that I can draw upon to enhance my performance of a character.<br><br></div><div>I enjoy the process of unpicking a character and figuring out what makes them tick and how they think. From the age of four I have been acting in some form or other, whether it be in amateur drama groups or as part of school education – and now college education. I was always in the school shows and performances, mainly in background roles in the beginning but as I got older and more confident, I was given main roles and for my GCSE drama performance, I was cast as the main character, which I am proud of, although the play didn’t inspire me.<br><br></div><div>However, on my performing arts course I couldn’t wait to be cast in our FMP because it was a play that had more mature themes that I could connect with and explore. It was a twisted gothic-y version of Cinderella with the added element of the seven deadly sin, of which I was the lead sin – Pride(fly). This character was challenging for me because it pushed me further than I thought I was capable of achieving, in terms of the characterisation and portrayal.<br><br></div><div>I’ve had minimal dance experience when I was younger, but discovered quickly that my passion and talents were better suited to acting. I found that I could connect and express a situation or scene much better through acting the part rather than dancing it. Of course I am partial to the occasional dance in my room where no one can see me! I seem to get along better with the serious, naturalistic theatre as opposed to comedy. However, I do believe that an actor should be versatile and well-rounded, able to perform any scene given to them, be it a piece of Brechtian theatre or comedy or some Stanislavski. Which is why in my spare time I do my best to figure out what it is about comedy acting that doesn’t agree with me<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This is my learning process for my modern monologue: "Our Own Kind". I leaned slowly, line by line, this also helped me understand the monologue and the character/her thoughts and feelings. Once i thought i knew the monologue enough i wrote them out a couple of times, to make sure they were steady and clear in my mind. So i had a very clear visual memory of the monologue.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This is a modern monologue, from the play: <em>Our Own Kind</em>, written by Roy MacGregor.&nbsp;<br><br>This speech is about a 16 year old girl that has been forced into maturity, because she was raped and now is pregnant.&nbsp;<br><br>Setting: "a brutal reprisal for her father's testimony in a murder trial" (from description of speech)<br>Therefore, i believe she is in court.<br><br>The subtext of this speech, is that she believes and wants to convince people around her, that the child won't be like it's father. Lorna wants them (people that have spoken to her, example of a woman that has spoken to her/mentioned in monologue: Sylvie) to know, that just because its "genetic burden" is a awful person, doesn't mean the child will be. Also she wants them to see the other side of things, the baby will be loved by its mother. She wants them to think less negatively, and see that the father has the potential to be a good guy if he chose to, or he could have been:<br>"We don't know what he might have been if the witch doctors hadn't got hold of him".&nbsp;<br>Lorna's obvious motivation in this speech, it to convince them that she knows what she is doing. As well as, that she is determined that her child will live life like any other child: "I do know what i'm doing. I do. My child will start with a clean slate". She wants to prove that she is not affected by the incident:<br>"I do know what i'm doing. I'm not as touched as they think. I'm going to turn something ugly and vicious and make it precious and beautiful. That's what i'm going to do." She also wants to show the anger that they are causing by how they are acting/speaking to her:<br>"My Councillor says, 'Don't you think it'll you know, remind you?' And i say, 'Will an abortion help me forget?' No, they'd have to take my frontal lobes out." Here she shows that the question she was asked was a ridiculous question to ask someone in her situation, as either way...she would not be able to forget.&nbsp;<br><br>The movement that i included in the performance of this monologue was very minimal. I chose to perform it, sat in a chair, with my right leg crossed over my left. My clasped together and then placed on my knee. I chose minimal movement, and formal body language because, Lorna, is in control of her situation. So she would not be flailing her arms about emotionally.&nbsp; I chose to put my hands over my stomach when she says:<br>"for going ahead with..." as she is talking about keeping the baby. Then she moves onto 'Old Mother Barnes' so i place my hands back on my knee. At times when she appears nonchalant about the situation, i added in a simple but casual shrug o the shoulders. For example, when she says:<br>"And now i'm cool about these things. Live and let live."<br>Mostly i look slightly down, or off to the side as if staring into the distance...as she recalls the conversations and actions of others, that are included in the speech.<br><br>I included, subtle facial expressions to show the characters calm approach, anger and opinion. For example, when she speaks of, Sylvie, she frowns as this rude thoughtless character. She puts on a big smile, like a Cheshire Cat, when she says:<br>"But i just smile my beatific smile and say, 'No thanks, i'll stick with the kid!'"<br><br>As i could not find the play itself, i am not sure of what happens next. My thoughts are, that she continues to stay headstrong and then she has the child. Then proves to the community that was against her decision, that everything she stated was/ is true.&nbsp;<br><br>Other/Original thoughts. Originally i thought she may have been talking to a councilor about her thoughts and feelings. However once i read:<br>"My councilor says" i realized she couldn't have been talking to once otherwise she wouldn't have mentions what the councilor said in that context. Next i thought that she may have been talking to a friend, but it seemed to me that she doesn't have many friends, as the people surrounding her seem to be against her decisions and the entire situation. Then i thought that she was just thinking out loud to herself, about everything as to her it made sense. Where as to others, it did not. My final thoughts, after reminding myself of the description by reading it again (as i hadn't read it since i picked the speech, as i knew what it was about) I reread the description to learn of the setting. I ended up going with the setting of a court. Hence the formal body language.<br><br>Below is peer (and Wyn) feedback, about my performance.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This is a contemporary monologue, from the fantasy play: <em>The Black Remote</em>, written by Glyn Maxwell.<br><br>This speech is about a young girl, Polly (who i believe to be no older than 12), ignoring her parents wishes. Polly, was told that she was not to use a black remote, that came with a new television. Along with a few other remotes for that same television. She knew what the other remotes did but not what the black one did. <br><br>Final setting decision: Polly is sat in a low light attic, on a chair, with it's and her back up against the statue. I think these things because she says:<br>"I'm talking to a statue..." <br>and<br>"and how can the answer to anything be in an attic?"<br>The attic is clutters with boxes and things that are unused or not needed. On the far side of the attic, just to the left. Is, Nono, the third creature. Also Polly is sat not to far from a small, round, attic window, that she can see out to the world outside, and see all of the chaos.<br><br>The subtext of this speech, is Polly trying to find out what the creature, Nono, thinks of her;s and Norman's, actions. I think this because, when she informs Nono about what has happened she asks what he thinks:<br>"<strong>Nono? Do you want to hear the news?</strong> We let them out, those others, and between them, Nono, they ruined everything. It's our fault. We used the black remote. <strong>What do you think of that?</strong>"<br><br>Polly's motivation in this speech is, to confess her actions, her wrong doing, to Non, the third creature. <br><br>The movement that i put into this piece was simple. Movements included, turning around and looking up at the statue Polly was leaning against. Also, moving to lean on my knee, with my chin pressed in to my palm because, i have my head resting on my hand. I would make Polly rest her head on her hand, and her arm on her knee at times when shes wondering about things. For, example:<br>"I suppose, if they tell the people living in the houses, it's being done for beauty, that might work."<br>Or when she she seems lonely and/or fed up:<br>"and all in all i wish my mum and dad would find themselves and bring themselves home where i am, because, because - no one's found me."<br>When she talks about Nono to the statue, i had her look to diagonally forward to the left, and at times gesture in his directions. For example, when she says:<br>"Nono - What about him? Is he the answer?"<br>Also when she says:<br>"and how can the answer to anything be in an attic?"<br>I throw my arms open in a gesture to show that i am in that attic.<br><br>As Polly i sat on a chair cross legged. I thought that this showed how young she was, instead of formal, it was informal. I associate it with times when kids are in primary school and they have to sit that way on the floor. I had Polly sit this way on a chair because, it kept her close to herself, comforting to a young child,&nbsp; it also represents the small space she's hiding in. Away from the mayhem and disaster, her releasing of the creatures caused.<br><br>The facial expressions i used involved, worried expressions when recollecting and viewing the mayhem outside. A saddened expressions at the thought of her mother and father, and of her being alone. A curious expressions at any question or questionable thought.<br><br>I could not find the play, just like with <em>Our Own Kind</em> I thought about the ending. I thought that, just like every typical play it would have a happy ending. But no doubt, there was a scene of her parents coming home, and telling her off for the chaos that she had caused. Or she would have resolved the situation with Norman, before they came home so they knew nothing of the events that took place. As for Polly's two sisters, i am not sure what part they have in all of this. I know that they are the beginning of the play, but i couldn't think of an ending with them.<br><br>Other thoughts involve, that the three sisters are like the three creatures released. Nono, the third creature. Represents indifference. Polly is the third, youngest sister. Nono is the third, youngest monster. I think they represent the sisters because there are three each, and near the end of the monologue. Polly says:<br>"Except i do keep thinking, in every story i read, when i read stories, it's the<strong> third thing that matters</strong>. <strong>The young one</strong>, or the ugly one, or the poo one got the treasure.<strong>Things went in threes, </strong>and these three, they were things, weren't they. <strong>Two have gone</strong>...Nono?"<em> Two have gone</em>, two creatures, two sisters. <em>Third thing, the young one, went in threes. </em>They all appear to be hints to me that the three monsters, are the three sisters.<br>Also i think that Polly was talking about Nono from the very beginning:<br>"<strong>His</strong> dream is coming true...but<strong> his </strong>dream was down to us. We let that <strong>creature</strong> out, and Norman thinks it's the<strong> right creature</strong>, not the wrong creature..."<br>To improve this monologue i could change:<br>"poor Nono, stuck in <strong>there</strong>."<br>to<br>"poor Nono, stuck in<strong> here</strong>"<br>I think this because this is the only line that made me question where she was. As she said <em>in there</em> i knew she wasn't in the attic. However, it was the preferred setting and that is how i wanted to perform it. During a conversation with my peers about monologues, i brought up this<em> here/there</em> situation. My peer offered a different setting: outside in the garden of her house, sat on a garden bench with the statue next to or behind the bench. With a view of the house and street surrounding, and the attic at the top, with a large window so the attic and Nono were visible.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This is a classical monologue, from the play <em>All's Well That Ends Well, </em>written by William Shakespeare.<br><br>This speech is about Helena confessing to the Countess, about her love for Bertram, the Countess' son. <br><br>Setting decision, Countess in her seat in front of Helena as she stands.<br><br>Helena's motivation in this speech is her determination for the Countess to understand, Helena's love for Bertram.<br><br>Subtext of this play is, Helena, convincing the Countess to allow her to go after Bertram in Italy.<br><br>After this scene, Helena goes after Bertram, and sets her devious plan in motion to get him to fall for her, and marry her. Which in the end, succeeds. As it is a <em>Shakespeare </em>comedy, it has a happy ending. So basically...Helena gets her man.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <br>The movement i used in this speech was more dramatic and bigger. I stand for this monologue. From the first line:<br>"Then i confess"<br>I drop to the floor and land on my knees, as i do so i fling my arms in a wide open gesture. I get up when i say:<br>"so's my love"<br>to show how serious i am i stand to raise myself up. I gesture to myself and to my heart as i continue with the monologue, as it's a heartfelt speech about Helena/my character. There are a lot of arm gestures going out from my body in this speech to show Helena's high level of emotions and energy.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br>&nbsp;Facial expressions show desire and need of understanding. Also shows her desperation.<br><br>I have chosen not to perform the second half of the monologue.<br><br>I did read the play for this monologue. So i know that it all literally ends well.
