⇨ Something to Consider

1. Who am I?
2. Where am I?
3. When is it?
4. Where have I just come from?
5. What do I want?
🗝 This is a key question. "Want" means what do you need, what is your intention, your motivation, your action? You should never walk on stage just to play a scene. You should always have an objective. You may be in a scene, for example, where you have very little dialogue. Instead of sitting doing nothing, give yourself a physical action, which can be anything that fits your reason for being in that place, from making a salad to looking for a lost item. The importance of this is so that you don't look or feel silly on stage doing nothing. You must have a life on stage, you must have a purpose for walking and talking, otherwise you are in danger of "just acting", which is fake. Don't forget you're trying to be truthful and three-dimensional, and in real life, no one ever comes into a room and stands with their hands by their sides or sits with their hands in their lap and just talks.
6. Why do I want it?
7. Why do I want it now?
8. What will happen if I don't get it now?

⇨ *Information for writing your bio

A bio (short for biography) is a brief telling of the highlights of your career-

your training, performances and experiences, as well as something about you personally,

i.e. what you like to do when you are not acting.

Tips

• Make it short and sweet. Your bio is not the place to list your entire resume.
• Write it in third person. Don’t use “I”, instead use “she” or “he” or your name;
• Describe your skills, training, and experience in sentence form.

Examples:

-Jane Doe (Character Name) is delighted to be making her debut with A THEATER GROUP. Favorite credits include A PLAY with A THEATRE SCHOOL, A MUSICAL with A THEATRE COMPANY, and PERHAPS ONE MORE. She is a student at SOME SCHOOL (and has also trained with SOMEPLACE COOL). She is involved in THIS INTERESTING DETAIL. She would like to thank her family for their support.

-Garvey Anderson (Lumiere)

This year marks Garvey's 2nd appearance in a major production at Mark Keppel. Last year he debuted as the "Genie" in Aladdin, Jr. Outside of theater, Garvey enjoys studying, improv, dancing and singing. Besides performing, Garvey plays on the Glendale YMCA basketball team and has a brown belt in Karate.

  

-Henry Gunnell (Chip) is a 4th grader at Mark Keppel Elementary School and is excited to be performing in this production. He has taken acting with Mrs. Gilbert, Improv with Darin Toonder, dance with Mrs. Neel, music with Mrs. Acitelli and Korean drumming with Mrs. Kim. In his spare time, Henry enjoys reading, draing, ice scating, swimming, playing with his friends, and going to the beach.
