Cultural Storytelling 6 (March 11 2011)

11 March 2011-03-11

You were reminded about Drama Strategies. 



These are ways to highlight meaning and key moments or draw attention to within a performance to inform the audience.

So we use strategies to highlight a key moment.


Current Drama Levels.
Most of you are 3c’s.

All of you need to be 3b’s but some could be 3a’s.

Miss Heather went through these targets.

3c;       Use basic drame strategies in a performance.
3b;       Apply drama strategies at appropriate moments in a performance.
3a;       Apply drama strategies appropriately, and use them to help structure yur piec , effectively telling the story.

We then had to practice cross cutting (RECAP) as a whole class.

Cross-cutting is a way to tell the audience a story correctly.

It allows the audience to focus on the correct part of the scene.

We practiced by creating two scenes , the whole class was split into two.
Both groups given brief.

When ready one group will act out their story, stop at an appropriate place as a tableau  then cross cut to the other group who will start off their scene whilst the other group freezes.

Preparation for the assessment began after a brief recap on the drama strategies.

Each group will be given a strategy to use within a performance and then assessed.

You were asked to;

Read the stories
Look for the key moments
Decide what drama strategy can be use to emphasise these key moments
Decide on who will play characters

You were given the rest of the lesson to practice for next week where these will be assessed.

These will be looked for;
