Memorizing lines
I am taking mid terms tomorrow. (I know it's early for mid terms but my school does a different schedule.) I have Theatre Arts first period and 20% of our grade for the exam is a performance. My teacher has given me a script to memorize with a partner, it's basically a conversation. It's very short but I'm so nervous about my other tests I can't think straight and I can't memorize this! I've been able to memorize a 2 page monologue in the past and I don't understand why I can't memorize 16 stupid lines. Does anyone have any tips on ways to memorize my lines? I've already tried reading them. Yeah... it's not working. Thanks if you can help!

Read them right before you go to bed. If theyre on the brain while youre settling in for the night, theres a bigger chance that youll remember them. Then when you make up in the moring, see how many you remember, and read your script again. Get people to read your script with you. The day of your test, read your script up until your teacher says test time so its fresh on your mind. good luck sweetie!! hope i helped

well you could start by memorizing one line at a time or another great way to deal with it would be to meditate it really helps if your life feels over busy and help clear your mind. the easiest one is to sit with your eye closed and breathe as you do that only concentrate on your breath

TAke a line at a time. Then keep adding lines! Good luck! Hope i'm not to late!

I'm in sort of the same position. I've been in a play before, with more lines than the skit I have to perform with a partner on Wednesday. When you really think about it, or get nervous, it gets a lot harder. Just meet up with your partner (mine is like one of my best friends) and practice. Just try to read them different ways. Try to make a song for the lines. We had to memorize a poem "Flanders Fields" In 8th grade. Just memorize it line by line. Once you get a paragraph down with no trouble, work on the next 5 lines, and then work until you have those memorized, and read over all the lines you've memorized, and then memorize them totally together. Then keep going like that. I thought theatre would be VERY easy, but it's been getting tougher. Luck for me, we don't get to do REAL LONG plays until theatre 3 which is like junior and seniors. So I have quite a while before I have to really memorize. Good luck on the midterm.
