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.
In addition to the General Education performance
indicators, students:
- write plays to communicate their ideas and
feelings (a)
- collaborate in the development of original
works which reflect life experiences (b)
- use vocal, movement, and body techniques
to create complex characters in monologues, oral interpretation,
and scene study (c)
- create props, scenery, and costumes for
different styles of plays (d)
- carry out acting, directing, and design
choices which support and enhance the intent of a production (e).
This is evident, for example, when students:
- write a play to submit for a student playwrighting
competition (e.g., Very Special Arts) following competition guidelines
- use improvisation to discover issues of
concern for teenagers and develop original pieces into script
format
- use oral interpretation to convey the nuances
of character and feeling in a student selected narrative poem
- select an absurdist piece (e.g., a Pinter
or Albee play) to produce which highlights sophisticated levels
of theatrical understanding
- participate in an internship in theatre
technology or business management with a local college, community
or professional theatre production.
