shakespeare(actually did a blog before i was told and realized it was saved as a draft....cool)

I absolutely love my new acting workshop. First off, I found a new love for Shakespeare and am even thinking about switching to the Shakespeare class for senior year. I also found a new epic monologue that I love from King Lear which I could definitely use for any audition. I also love how it's a small group and there's a lot of talking and learning going on at the same time. Usually in the workshops it's more of them teaching and talking a lot then us trying to apply it but instead, we were learning but also applying it to the monologues at the same time. We also broke down the monologues and figured out that Shakespeare isn't some crazy poety that no one is supposed to understand but just people talking and we figured out how to make it easier to understand. I also found it awesome that he writes in iambic pentameter and how you can use that to figure out how to actually say the lines and how they're feeling if Shakespeare maybe makes the lines shorter or longer than 10. I can't wait to actually get into Rob's written play.
