Video Audition Submissions Spring 2020 Video Audition Submissions Spring 2020 Here is a video of Ms. Allison walking you through this document and giving you tips for a great audition! If you are auditioning for a SPRING PRODUCTION, be sure to REGISTER for the class by CLICKING HERE. Enrollment numbers are limited, as Wonderland continues to find ways for every child involved to shine! We are anticipating the shows to be maxed out very quickly, based on feedback from parents. You MUST register to participate. All who are registered receive a role in the production. No one is cut from auditions as long as they are registered. Springs Productions- What are my production options this spring? 3 Show Options: 1. Charlotte's Web (straight play) a. Ages 10-18 (For this age group this season, we’ve decided to do a straight play for many reasons.) The Importance of Straight Plays a novel by Etienna Wright I. Character Development - Straight plays provide students with the opportunity for a move involved experience with developing and portraying a character on stage without music and dance to aid in storytelling. II. Increased Emotional Intelligence - Digging deeper into character development also assists young performers in the development of emotional intelligence (the awareness, control, and expression of one's emotions, and the handing of relationships). III. Speech Development - Straight plays allow students to focus strictly on their speaking voice when performing, increasing their ability and confidence to use their speaking voice on and off stage. IV. Creativity and Problem Solving - Theater of any kind encourages the development of creativity. In a play, students take an in-depth approach to the creation of a character, which enables them to be part of creating the theatrical work first-hand from start to finish. Doing scene work with a director and fellow actors helps students to come up with solutions to problems in a role, and respond imaginatively to a range of situations. V. Something Different - Wonderland strives to provide a well-rounded theater education. We think it is important to provide students with a variety of different types of theatrical experiences, both on and off stage. Producing a play provides the chance spark an interest or even a passion for students who may be stellar actors, but don't always have the opportunity to share those gifts in a musical setting. b. Rehearsals for Charlotte's Web will begin January 20th on Mondays & Thursday at WPA II 6:30pm-8:15pm. c. Monthly Tuition: $100 (Feb-May) d. Performances at Burke Theater May 29th-31st e.

Click here for Cast Information 3.

Ages 9-14 b. Rehearsals for Storytelling will begin January 23th on Thursdays at WPA I 5:30pm- 7:00pm. c. Monthly Tuition: $80 (Feb-May) d.

Once you have selected and registered for the production in which you want to participate, follow the instructions below for the show you've chosen and submit your auditions no later than December 1st. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• How do I audition?

Please mark your calendars with this date and time, in case you are called back. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Audition Dos & Don’ts: MEMORIZE everything before you perform for the camera. Do not submit your audition with a paper in your hand. Film yourself in good lighting, where you can be seen clearly. Put thought and effort into wearing something nice, fixing your hair, etc. o We suggest solid colored clothing without pictures or words. Slate before your audition- Introduce yourself & the material you’ll be performing. Song Selection- Choose a song in the correct key for your voice. If you do not sing high, choose a song with a lower key, and vice versa. Choose something that showcases your personality! (Remember do not sing a capella. Use an accompaniment track.) Monologue Selection- Choose a monologue that shows your personality, and that is age appropriate. Here is a link to Ms. Allison's suggestions.* *It is up to you to choose a monologue for your audition. We would like for your monologue to come from an actual play, rather than from a movie, monologue compilation book, or the internet. Below are several videos with Ms. Allison's commentary on them. This will hopefully help you prepare. You don't have to watch all of these, but Ms. A scoured YouTube to find material to help you prepare. 1. https://youtu.be/jZHcvPOEufo –Audition Workshop: Ella Sophia (age 7) – a. She did a pretty good job! I’d stay away from using a chair unless you absolutely need it to tell your story. b. Her song is longer than we want ours (we want 32 bars/measures). c. I’d like to see her whole body, not just torso. 2. https://youtu.be/JeRTcYVt5p0 - Monologue for Musical Theatre or Broadway audition by Kai Alivia- a. She does pretty well, but for our purposes use a track behind your song, do not sing a capella. b. Make sure your song is cut to 32 bars/measures for Aladdin KIDS auditions. 3. https://youtu.be/tjNTy6en404 – Little Mermaid Audition 2019: Monologue and Solo – a. This is a “what not to do” situation.

  • ELEMENTS of FICTION – NARRATOR / NARRATIVE VOICE Fundamental Literary Terms That Indentify Components of Narratives “Fiction
    Dr. Hallett ELEMENTS OF FICTION – NARRATOR / NARRATIVE VOICE Fundamental Literary Terms that Indentify Components of Narratives “Fiction” is defined as any imaginative re-creation of life in prose narrative form. All fiction is a falsehood of sorts because it relates events that never actually happened to people (characters) who never existed, at least not in the manner portrayed in the stories. However, fiction writers aim at creating “legitimate untruths,” since they seek to demonstrate meaningful insights into the human condition. Therefore, fiction is “untrue” in the absolute sense, but true in the universal sense. Critical Thinking – analysis of any work of literature – requires a thorough investigation of the “who, where, when, what, why, etc.” of the work. Narrator / Narrative Voice Guiding Question: Who is telling the story? …What is the … Narrative Point of View is the perspective from which the events in the story are observed and recounted. To determine the point of view, identify who is telling the story, that is, the viewer through whose eyes the readers see the action (the narrator). Consider these aspects: A. Pronoun p-o-v: First (I, We)/Second (You)/Third Person narrator (He, She, It, They] B. Narrator’s degree of Omniscience [Full, Limited, Partial, None]* C. Narrator’s degree of Objectivity [Complete, None, Some (Editorial?), Ironic]* D. Narrator’s “Un/Reliability” * The Third Person (therefore, apparently Objective) Totally Omniscient (fly-on-the-wall) Narrator is the classic narrative point of view through which a disembodied narrative voice (not that of a participant in the events) knows everything (omniscient) recounts the events, introduces the characters, reports dialogue and thoughts, and all details.

  • Stand-Up Comedy Performance and the Management of Hecklers
    “Joke’s on You!”: Stand-up Comedy Performance and the Management of Hecklers *****ABSTRACT***** Stand-up comedy performance provides a space for audiences to experience collective effervescence. The biggest challenge to that effervescence is the heckler, and the ways in which comedians deal with hecklers underscore cultural understandings of what is or is not funny. I explore stand-up comedy shows on various levels to understand different forms of heckling and strategies for managing disruption through Michael Reay’s work on the social origins of humor and Jeffrey Alexander’s cultural pragmatics model. After explicating these theoretical models in relation to stand-up comedy, examples from live performances in Philadelphia and Boston, as well as selections from televised comedy performances, are used to examine heckling incidents and identify the advantages and risks involved in each type of response.

  • Unit 2 Dialogues and Monologues
    UNIT 2 DIALOGUES AND MONOLOGUES Structure 2.0 Aims and Objectives 2.1 Introduction 2.2 Dialogue can play an important role in dramatising ideas 2.3 Dramatised dialogue in fiction 2.4 Dramatic dialogue in poetry 2.5 Dramatic dialogue in drama .2.6 Dramatisation of news reports 2.7 Personality of the speaker in a dialogue 2.7.1 characters speaking uncharacteristically 2.7.2 A charactei's speech is modified by the events in a drama 2.8 The advantages of dramatisation 2.9 Monologues 2.9.1 The inevitability of monologues 2.9.2 A monologue is more than a device 2.10 Summing up 2.1 1 Activities: aids to answers 2.12 Glossary 2.0 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES In this Unit you are not learning about the nature of dialogue in drama only. It has a wider scope. It discusses the general principles of writing dialogues and monologues, one of which is that by dramatising our ideas in fiction, poetry, news reports, etc., we achieve certain effects which we can't otherwise. ~ialoguesand monologues, used skilfully, can make writing vivid and authentic. You will now learn that: e the essence of dramatic dialogue in drama is its relation with characters and events; dialogue can add life to many forms of writing, such as fiction, poetry, drama, news reports; in each of these the dido yetells us essential truths about the characters and the situation; dialogue reveals the personality of the speakers; even when they seem to talk out of character they may be revealing some unknown aspects of themselves; or they may reveal any changes they may have undergone in the course of the incidents; dramatisation is a more direct and quick way of telling us the entire truth about the characters involved in a story; monologues are inevitable in certain situations, e.g., loneliness and grief.

  • Laughing out Loud: Taking a Stand on Standup for the ESL Student Kathy Zimbaldi Westside High School INTRODUCTION I Am a Seconda
    Laughing Out Loud: Taking a Stand on Standup for the ESL Student Kathy Zimbaldi Westside High School INTRODUCTION I am a secondary ESL teacher at Westside High School in HISD. I teach 10th, 11th, and 12th grade classes of Advanced and Transitional students, and my class populations are extremely diverse both culturally and linguistically. While many students are native Spanish speakers, most are from South America rather than Mexico. And while some of my Asian students are Chinese or Vietnamese, others are from Thailand, Bangladesh, or India. The native Arab speakers are from Iran, Lebanon, and Palestine, while the African ESL students are from Angola, Cameroon, or Nigeria. Unlike my previous ESL teaching experiences with 100% Mexican populations, my Westside High classroom is a mini-United Nations! While my own learning curve is steep as I seek to meet the needs of this very diverse group, I still try hard to maintain an atmosphere that keeps the affective filter low as my students struggle to learn in a second language. My goal is to promote a stress-free zone that encourages risk- taking; if we are to make steady progress toward language proficiency, then students must be comfortable manipulating that language. I choose to teach with a generous level of flexibility in the ESL curriculum, and I am fortunate to have the full support of my principal in this regard. Like Robin Williams’ students in Good Morning Vietnam or Bill Murray’s in Stripes, my students seem to appreciate any efforts I make to engage and entertain them as we tackle the more daunting lessons in English language learning.

  • Dramatic Monologue: Defining the Genre
    Abstract THROWN VOICES: A SERIES OF DRAMATIC MONOLOGUES, WITH A DISCUSSION OF THE GENRE by Matt Finch June 2010 Director: John Hoppenthaler Department of English This thesis examines the complex nature of the poetic genre of the dramatic monologue by providing multiple perspectives on the genre—namely, those of the literary critic and the creative writer. This thesis provides a selection of original dramatic monologues in various styles and featuring characters ranging from the prophet Jeremiah to a modern-day plastic surgeon, tied together by the theme of imaginatively filling in historical gaps and erasures with speakers in times of great political or cultural upheaval. Prefacing this collection of poems is a discussion of the genre of dramatic monologue, beginning with a general overview of the development and features of the genre, followed by a discussion of specific issues involved in writing this collection. ©Copyright 2010 Matt Finch A Thesis Presented To The Faculty of the Department of ENGLISH East Carolina University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts by Matt Finch June 2010 THROWN VOICES: A SERIES OF DRAMATIC MONOLOGUES, WITH A DISCUSSION OF THE GENRE by Matt Finch APPROVED BY: DIRECTOR of THESIS: ________________________________________ John Hoppenthaler, MFA COMMITTEE MEMBER: ____________________________________________________ E.
