Day 39: The Return of the Patron List

I once again returned to my list to continue editing patrons and cleaning up Folio. Not before a few and final event checks and charges were taken care of first though. I really do not have much to report about the day. I spent the majority of it working on the list. I got through about 10 more pages and have six left! Other duties of the day included, batching out, printing reports, and checking emails. Nothing too exciting, just a usual day in the office.

At about 4:30 Mr. John and I dove into some more monologue work. We read through and discussed my contemporary piece first, before going back to Shakespeare. I need to work on the specifics surrounding my monologues. for example: why am I saying what I'm saying? Who am I talking to? Where am I? What has just happened leading up to this point? What time of day is it? Am I alone? etc. It is very important to think about and pick these specifics when doing a monologue. Once I had some specifics for my contemporary piece I felt much more connected to it and was better able to deliver the monologue. On to Shakespeare, in my first delivery I went from greatness with the first pice to suck town! Fail! After setting the scene and scenario for the monologue it was coming along much better! Still needs work though. For the rest of the evening I have to continue to pick specifics and become more grounded and connected to the monologues.

 I feel like I'm getting a lot out of the one on one sessions with Mr. John. Tomorrow is a cleaning and more monologue work day. Very excited for the monologue work, not so excited for the cleaning. But, oh well, you got to do what you got to do. The life of an intern, until tomorrow...
