Memorizing is pretty difficult. This week I had to memorize the balcony monologue from Romeo & Juliet. Honestly, I am still trying to memorize it at the time of writing. By the end of class I will have recited the monologue to the class flawlessly, hopefully. In class yesterday we went through a few different ways to help memorize our material. We just read the lines. We recited the lines aloud. We wrote the lines. We acted out the lines. Of these, my favorite is just reading with reciting aloud in a close second. I'm very surprised at the speed some people memorized their lines. I wish I had a better memory as it seems pretty amazing to learn lines so fast.
