Character Analysis: Blog 1

So far, for my character analysis of Helena from All's Well That Ends Well, I have united my monologue, figured out objectives and tactics, found a folio version of the monologue, and read my scene through a few times with my partner, Eric Villhauer.
I will be presenting my monologue in class tomorrow and meeting with my scene partner sometime this week to work out blocking. We have some wonderful ideas for our scene; we've got a really hilarious scene to work with. I chose Eric as my partner because I knew that we would be able to work well together and he could pull off the role of Parolles.
I've got some material to work with for my monologue. At KCACTF I went to a workshop by dialect and Shakespeare expert Paul Meier called Acting Shakespeare and he used the monologue as an example. He went into the monologue and picked it apart piece by piece, so that should help me successfully complete the assignment.
I've also got a bit of a heads up from my Directing class. I chose a different monologue from the same character to direct Kylea Dieken in; so this may help me to better understand the character as well.
