Monologues are such an important aspect to acting and I am pleased that our Introduction to Acting class was given the opportunity to explore monologues and other basic aspects of acting. Given that I would have loved to have more time during our individual rehearsals to have my performance critiqued, I enjoyed the process we underwent to explore our monologues. I personally enjoyed choosing something that I had never done before and that forced me to read one of my new favorite dramatic works…

Drama ISU Reflection From picking a monologue to leaving the stage after my performance, the monologue ISU of this class has been one of my favourite projects that I have ever done. I felt most successful with the character sketch and with my final rehearsal of my monologue. The character sketch, which I did receive full marks on, was one of the parts I felt most successful with because I was able to create a full character from a couple pages of one scene from an entire person’s life.

Joss Whedon’s show Firefly starts with one of two short monologues to contextualize the shows premise for any new viewers. They both tell the tale of an earth exhausted of resources and the new earths formed to fill the needs of humanity. “Earth was used up, we found a new solar system and hundreds of new Earths were terraformed and colonized.” This is an explicit connection to colonization and the show presents a parallel between historical colonization and the shows new terraformed worlds.
