Action Plan for Julius Ceasar

For my parts as Lepidus and Cicero, there is not much I can do, since there arent that many lines, which is something that I like. The less lines, the more of a chance to project myself and drive my point across to the audience. To practice my lines I think that every day or at least every other day I should look over the lines that I have and once I have memorized them try to emphasize where needed and not analyze but try to figure out what is meant behind each line.

One of the tips that was given to us in London was to find the action behind each line, this was one of the most important points I remember about Shakespeare plays. Every line has an action behind it, so I just have to remember every line and then figure out the action behind it.

After I have memorized my lines and found the action behind each one and found where the emphasis is needed, I can add the acting to it. The acting is the last step, its not the least important, just the one that should come after the lines memorizing and analyzing. I should add the acting to everything which will be the final touch to making a good performance.
