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:
- write monologues and scenes to communicate
ideas and feelings (a)
- enact experiences through pantomime, improvisation,
play writing, and script analysis (b)
- use language, techniques of sound production
(articulation, enunciation, diction, and phrasing), techniques
of body, movement, posture, stance, gesture, and facial expression
and analysis of script to personify character(s); interact with
others in improvisation, rehearsal, and performance; and communicate
ideas and feelings (c)
- design and build props, sets, and costumes
to communicate the intent of the production (d).
- make acting, directing, and design choices
that support and enhance the intent of the class, school, and
/or community productions (e).
This is evident, for example, when students:
- write and perform an original monologue
which expresses a struggle over a decision of whether to engage
in a particular activity with peers
- select an example of visual art (paintings,
reproductions, photographs, postcards); study the visual art for
setting, mood, and characterization; and improvise a scene ending
in a tableau
- perform a reader's theatre piece concentrating
on voice and gestures to convey nuances of character, mood and
meaning
- create a floor plan of a set design for
a play
- assume various roles of theatrical personnel,
both onstage and backstage, to assure the success of a school
production.
