TERMS
Block/Blocking = stage movement during lines.
Work Thru = Work desired sections of show, stopping and starting as needed.
Run Thru = Run through whole show without stopping, allowing actors to work on continuity.
Tech = adding technical aspects of show (lights, sets, props, etc) and working as needed.
Dress = Adding costumes. Work as needed, but should be as much of a Run Thru as possible.

Tips for Learning Lines

  • WEEK ONE: read full script 2X per day
  • WEEK TWO: read just your lines aloud 4X per day
  • Consider your blocking as part of your lines
  • ALWAYS work on your lines aloud (Sense-Memory)
  • "LOOPING" - As you work on your lines, imagine yourself on the set, doing your blocking, and seeing what you will see as you say the lines
  • If you follow these tips from the very beginning, you will know your lines before you know it
