Olga wanted us to take some of our classical monologues and look at the words and over physicalize them to get more of a feel for what the words mean. I chose the monologue of Emilia from Othello. I never showed it too the class but I feel like it loosened me up a bit because I personally do not understand most of the words in classical monologues because it's obviously not my language so sometimes I read it and think I have read it in a completely different context than what it was written in.
One of our class members showed his one, it came out really funny where he was over acting the words but hearing him doing it that time made me understand it more because he physicalized it so well with the words that it actually made sense for me to listen to and watch. It was also more fun to watch, I find it really hard to get into classical plays as it is not something I usually go for and listen to myself as I haven't grown up with it being my natural language even though of course that was the language used back in the day.
