Monologue performance tips?

Any tips for an artaud style monologue? I’m doing it for my exam, I know all about the theatre of cruelty pretty much, and that I need to engage the audience and shock them. But I want to know exactly how it would be best to do this, and want it to make it really abstract. If anyone can help, that would be much appreciated

Answer #1

Aww thank you, will take that advice on board :)

Answer #2

My main suggestions would be to move around a lot, and try to engage the entire audience. Don’t look at just one person the entire time, or one section of the room. Oh, also, if you do mess up, keep going. Don’t stop! And thank the audience when you’re done.
