IN-PERSON The Monologue Workshop The monologue is a literary device featuring a “speech” made by a single character in a work of literature or dramatic work (for theater or film). Monologues allow a character to address other characters present in the scene and/or the reader/audience. In this class, students will work on monologues assigned or chosen by student. Attention will be paid to the text, the subtext, the objective, the five senses, and the moment before. In preparation for the monologues, students will ask: What do I want? What do I need? How do I feel? Students will perform monologues at last class. At SUNY Westchester Valhalla: CE-THEAT 2050, 8 Tue., Jan. 23-Mar. 12, 12:00 noon-2:00 pm, KNC-5, $225.
