I have really enjoyed your devised pieces. I look forward to receiving submissions from those of you who are a little behind with your work. I will share your class piece next week, so please submit your pieces ASAP so they can be included. Here is last semesters piece to give you some inspiration.
Moving forward, we are preparing for your FINAL, Creative Projects. Now is a great time to get caught up if you are behind. I would recommend taking look at how many points each assignment is worth and make yourself a plan to get done what you can, so you can earn the best grade possible with the time you have to give. We are all juggling multiple responsibilities and time management can be a challenge. Do not let perfection prevent your progress. If you need further support please let me know. I’m happy to schedule a Zoom call or phone chat to help get you back on track.
For next week,
Week 12 Creative Project FINAL, part 1
Please Read/Watch
Review the readings/videos from the semester to refresh your focus and make sure you incorporate details into your Creative Project.
DB 12: Creative Project FINAL part 1
(10 Points)
Creative Project: FINAL What is Theatre? Now that you have explored some of the basic elements of theatre and performance revisit your original introduction video where you responded to the prompt “What is Theatre” you shared one thing you knew and one thing you were curious about. How have your thoughts changed, stayed the same or evolved? If you had to create a 2-3 minute or 2-3-page written piece explaining “What is Theatre” What would it include? Look like? How would you address acting, directing, lights, set, costumes, sound, world theatre, devised theatre, genre… Would you make a short film segment, podcast, slide show, newspaper article…How would you outline the piece so you could cover each topic and offer examples, stories or anecdotes that your audience/community would respond well to? Share your idea and how you would organize your presentation/piece. Be specific, Be detailed and Be Thorough. This is in preparation for your FINAL, so do the necessary research and planning.
Here is a sample outline you can use.
Take a look at the samples on OpenLab so you are clear on the level of detail and reflection expected.
Please review and respond to at least 2 of your ensemble members posts. Please offer one I appreciate… (something that worked well) and one I wonder… (something that is not clear or that you have a helpful hint for)
Have a great week,
Prof. Christina
