Today was our minor day, which meant I did acting. I got to work on my monologue for the first time. I was actually surprised that the beginning of my monologue was so believable. The rest of the monologue definitely needs a lot more work. I am having a hard time answering the question "What do I want from the other character?" The way the whole scene is set up, it is a little hard to answer this question. However, I cannot blame the whole thing on the play. I had the same problem during my open scene, which caused me to be at the bottom. I do think I know what i'm doing a little bit more than with the open scene, so with some more work on the monologue I think that I will be able to perform it well. It was the first time performing it, I didn't expect anything more. I think next time I will do more research with other plays that are a little bit more clear with objectives and tactics. I do like that this monologue is a little bit of a challenge. I picked it because it was the only monologue I found that I can completely relate too.
