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 improvisation and guided play writing
to communicate ideas and feelings (a)
- imitate various experiences through pantomime,
play making, dramatic play, story dramatization, storytelling,
role playing, improvisation and guided play writing (b)
- use language, voice, gesture, movement and
observation to create character and interact with others in improvisation,
rehearsal, and performance (c)
- create props, scenery, and costumes through
individual and group effort (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 within the
school/community, and discuss ways to improve them (e).
This is evident, for example, when students:
- develop a point of view on an issue then
use improvisation to convey that point of view to an audience
- recall or observe a simple action or moment,
such as shopping for a pair of shoes, cooking from a recipe, typing
a letter, and imitate the experience through pantomime
- create and act out character charades by
using a prop (e.g., hats) so specific to the character that they
indicate what/who the character is (age, gender, occupation)
- select an appropriate scene to perform for
a younger class: devise the props, costumes and set pieces and
rehearse and perform the piece
- suggest the role conflict plays in drama;
write scenes with and without a conflict; discuss the differences.
