By the end of this course, students will:
A3.1 identify and use a variety of techniques to influence the audience in specific ways (e.g., have actors enter the performance space from the audience to increase audience connection to the drama; use blocking to focus audience attention on key characters or relationships between characters)
Teacher prompt: “How could you position the actors to ensure that this character’s silent stage business can be clearly seen by the audience?”
A3.2 use a variety of voice and movement techniques to support the creation of character or atmosphere during rehearsal (e.g., use voice and movement to suggest an airport, circus, or factory environment)
Teacher prompt: “What techniques could you use to create this environment using only the actors’ voices?”
A3.3 use a variety of technological tools (e.g., light, sound, set design, props, models) to enhance the impact of drama works
Teacher prompts: “What are some ways we can use technological tools such as sound and lighting to heighten impact?” “How could you use sound to suggest a natural setting such as a forest or a rocky ocean shore?”
