Standard 1: Creating,
Performing and Participating in the Arts
1. Students will create and perform theatre
pieces as well as improvisational drama. They will understand and
use the basic elements of theatre in their characterizations, improvisations,
and play writing. Students will engage in individual and group theatrical
and theatre-related tasks, and will describe the various roles and
means of creating, performing, and producing theatre.
Students:
- use creative drama to communicate ideas
and feelings (a)
- imitate experiences through pantomime, play
making, dramatic play, story dramatization, story telling, and
role playing (b)
- use language, voice, gesture, movement,
and observation to express their experiences and communicate ideas
and feelings (c)
- use basic props, simple set pieces, and
costume pieces to establish place, time, and character for the
participants (d)
- identify and use in individual and group
experiences some of the roles, processes, and actions for performing
and creating theatre pieces and improvisational drama (e).
This is evident, for example, when students:
- use a belonging from home as practice in
handling simple props and as an experience in evoking feelings
in an audience
- pantomime the action of a narrated story
- observe the habits of familiar animals and
use voice, gesture, body movement to portray the animals to classmates
- act out a scene from a well-known fairy
tale using basic props, simple set pieces and costume pieces
- use puppets to dramatize an event: create
the dialogue, voices and movement of the puppets to convey the
story working in small groups.
