Class Experience

A four-week bootcamp that guides learners through brainstorming, drafting, staging, and polishing a short solo performance using a three-part format (monologue, music, poetry). Instruction covers improvisational monologuing, adding sensory detail, staging and physicality, technical rehearsal, and a final costumed performance with feedback.

Learning Outcomes

  • Understand the 3–5 minute solo show structure and improvisational monologuing

  • Develop a script using monologue, music, and poetry with sensory detail

  • Use body, voice, and stage space to bring a script to life and perform

Prerequisites

Materials needed:

Students will need to bring a notebook and pencil to class for every session. For lesson 2, students are encouraged to bring a secondary device (such as a cell phone) for research. They may need to find a poem related to their show theme if they decide not to write an original poem.
