MONOLOGUES MASTERCLASS

IP: Performance

ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP:

Suitable for students doing their HSC in 2025, embarking on their HSC Drama Individual Project: Performance

In this workshop series, students will delve into the essential elements of crafting an engaging monologue, with practical guidance for their Individual Project. Through a focus on key dramatic concepts—such as character, objectives, audience, conflict, stakes, and staging—students will explore effective approaches to monologue performance. They will learn to analyse texts and apply rehearsal techniques to bring their monologues to life on stage.

During the series students will be introduced to:

  • Techniques for developing physicality and vocal expression to elevate performance
  • Methods for analysing a script to uncover objectives, motivations, and actions
  • Practical tools actors can use to control nerves and performance anxiety

This workshop is intended to help you create your a rehearsal practice and work with your chosen text (self-written or found) through practical exploration of acting techniques, guided by a Belvoir artist. Artists delivering this workshop will not be providing guidance on specifics of the HSC requirement. For information on your practical exam you should consult your teacher.

  • bottle of water
  • writing tools of choice – paper & pen or pencil, on-screen writing program (i.e Word, Google Docs, etc.)
  • your monologue text or a sample monologue (samples will be sent to participants after booking)
