C3. Responsible Practices
By the end of this course, students will:
C3.1 identify and follow safe and ethical practices in all drama activities (e.g., use vocal and physical warm-ups to protect against strain injuries; tape cords to ensure safety; store and handle flats safely; follow instructions and protocols for operating equipment; follow procedures for the environmen- tally responsible use of materials and energy; honour the dramatist’s intentions; obtain perform- ance rights; present and honour a variety of perspectives)
Teacher prompts: “What safety concerns might we face as we move forward with this produc- tion?” “How can we ensure that the materials used in these sets are available for re-use in future productions?” “Why is it important to reflect the reality of ethnic diversity both in developing and in presenting drama works?”
C3.2 demonstrate an understanding of the tasks and responsibilities involved in producing drama works (e.g., itemize the multiple and inter- related responsibilities and competencies of director, stage manager, costume manager, and writer)
Teacher prompt: “What skills, knowledge, and attitudes do you need to be an effective stage manager?”
C3.3 demonstrate an understanding of correct theatre worker and audience etiquette in class- room drama work and formal performance contexts (e.g., as a director: show respect for actors’ opinions and approaches; as a performer: accept direction from peer coaches and teachers; respect the fourth wall; as a viewer: maintain a receptive attitude; respond courteously)
Teacher prompts: “What procedures could
you put in place that will help maintain good communication within your group?” “What is the importance of being able to think and feel what other people’s situations and predicaments must be like?”
