Download or read book The Teacher Monologues written by Mindy R. Carter and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-09-11 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the experiences of four Conservatory style trained actors, who go onto complete teacher education programs. In keeping with a/r/tography this research uses social science methods and creative methods of data collection. Interviews and reflective writing about the participant’s educational and experiential backgrounds are complimented by the writing of monologues. Themes from the data collected during interviews, reflective writing and monologues led to the understandings that: there is a connection between developing consciousness and having a noetic experience; actor-teachers want to talk about their noetic experiences; residue is an a/r/tographic rendering used to describe the way that having an illuminating experience in theatre school affected the participants; and an immanent curriculum can be understood by theatrical engagement. In addition to exploring the interview data and monologues, time is spent understanding the works of Antonin Artaud, a prolific theatre artist and a/r/tography, a method of arts-based research. This theoretical and a/r/tographical investigation leads to the creation of Interludes. These Interludes, theorized as rhizomatic curricular offshoots, allow for multiple entry points into these new understandings and provide an example of how to bring together artful inquiry into an academic arena.

Download or read book Monologues and Plays written by Edna Sutton Stark and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Monologues and Plays: Designed for the Platform Entertainer, the Reader and the Teacher More often without the aid of make up, than with it, the monologist must present to his audience a true picture of the character he is representing. If he is successful then he is worthy of the name of Platform Artist. His task is more difficult than that of the actor as he is denied the stage properties and supporting cast which help the actor to create the illusion. It is quite permissible to dress in suitable costume and adds much to the effect, but in doing so, never give your own intro duction, it must be given by some one else or printed on the program, as it is a breach of art, while in costume, to be other than the character impersonated. A monologue is a one sided conversation. To be a good conversationalist one must be a good listener. Pauses or listening places test the skill of the entertainer. The pauses must not be mere blanks but in them the performer must show by expression and pantomime that which is being said by the other person.

Download or read book Clay written by Carol S. Lashof and published by . This book was released on 2012-08-14 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aaron blames homework for ruining his life but still he plugs away, ever hopeful that today will be the day he gets all his assignments done on time, makes his parents happy, and maybe even finds a girlfriend. Zeta cheats. A little. Loaded up with AP and Honors classes, she reasons that no sensible person would write every English paper from scratch or neglect to bring a cheat sheet to a French exam. The only class she enjoys is art; how could anyone not love the smell of clay? Will, on the other hand, could breeze through school if he chose to. And he always goes to class when there's a good reason. But usually there's not, so he's flunking out. Ordinarily, these three students would never talk to each other, but when a group project for French class brings them together, they're forced to confront their stereotypes and their anxieties; and even more troubling, their wishes and dreams.
