The Monologue Workbook

This an extensive toolkit for students to prepare a monologue or audition piece. It uses a wide range of practical and on-your-feet activities to get the monologue up and moving, as well as some insightful table work. the workbook also includes notes on how to approach the preparation holistically, and how to draw the activities together to create a final performance. It utilises theories of respected practitioners such as Laban, Stanislavski, Bogart, Lecoq and others, suggesting specific tasks for the application of these theories to monologue work. The booklet is written in a way that is aimed at students, but can be used in teacher-lead work equally. This resource has been extensively tested with students and other teachers in PD sessions, and has been highly valued in both contexts.
