In 2021 AD/CE young Lexmilian begins a diploma in counselling at 'Health Academy Australia'. In order to bolster his counselling skills he partakes in numerous extra-curricular activities. Lex also involves himself with 'Udemy' and 'Achology' to complete additional diplomas with attainment of further merit-able qualifications in a number of fields. This video pertains to the Udemy course of a 'Master of Mindfulness'. This being a guided tuition in which a client could become more mindful about any particular problem. This is just one small fraction of the homework partaken by Lex, and given it was for personal practice and enjoyment, Lex leaves it as a first draft.

This video was a trivial exercise homework where Lexmilian's tutor requested him to perform Johnny's 'Up the Ladder' monologue whilst facing the camera. A crude makeshift teleprompter was devised and, very awkwardly, Lexmilian tried to accommodate different states of 'feeling' which gave this first draft rendition performance a semi-schizoid appearance. The exercise proved useful for a number of reasons. To experiment with the 'Green Screen' some more, to see how a 'square' layout would look like, to continue to see Lexmilian's first draft readouts, and to orchestrate a contraption where Lexmilian would have a teleprompter equivalent with new positions of placement of the recording camera. The exercise file for this footage can be found here below:-- "2021.04.13 - Homework Schema.pdf"@ https://1drv.ms/b/s!AqvEB9_QaFcz6jg02sYCwoAMHDwD?e=EhWEXZ

An experimental monologue trying some new tricks with the camera and the green screen. The speech itself is a slightly modified rendition of "Johnny's" monologue in 'Up the Ladder'. This rendition being a third of his homework for the week for his studies at the 'Fremantle Academy of Performing Arts'. Up the Ladder follows an Aboriginal man's journey from the rough and tumble fights of the boxing tents of the 1940s and 1950s to a career as a professional and champion boxer. With a bold theatrical style prefigured in his hit play Funerals and Circuses, Roger Bennett evokes the carnival atmosphere, the humour and the energy of the old sideshow world, while subtly reminding us of the racism. Of course though, this piece has been modified in memory of 'Hugh Ming' and 'Joel Roberts', with some tribute to current affiliates of Lex's.
