| HELLO DRAMA 3
THIS IS MAY 2ND
CURRENTLY IN ADVANCED THEATRE, WE ARE WORKING ON ADVANCED IMPROVISATION
SKILLS. WE ARE WORKING WITH EXERCISES DEVELOPED BY DEL CLOSE AND CHARNA
HALPURN WHO DEVELOPED IMPROV OLYMPICS. THIS CLASS IS LEARNING THE "GROUP
MIND" CONCEPT WHICH ASSISTS ACTORS IN WORKING CLOSELY TOGETHER AND ANTICIPATE
WHAT THEIR IMPROV TEAMMATES MIGHT DO. THE CLASS HAS VERY SUCCESSFULLY
COMPLETED THEIR BEGINNING EXERCISES AND WILL BE MOVING ON NEXT WEEK TO HELP
DEVELOP PLAY BUILDING IMPROVISATION SKILLS. THEY WILL EVENTUALLY PERFORM
WHAT IS CALLED A "HAROLD" WHICH IS AN IMPROVISED PLAY.
IN ADDITION, SEVERAL STUDENTS HAVE RECEIVED COPIES OF THEIR MONOLOGUES FOR
THEIR PREPARED
AUDITION. AGAIN THE DATE FOR THAT PERFORMANCE IS MAY 13TH.
WE WILL ALSO BE WORKING IN
PRODUCTION TEAMS. STUDENTS WILL WORK IN GROUPS AS PRODUCTION STAFF OF A PLAY
OF THEIR CHOOSING. THEY WILL ASSIGN AND FUFILL THE FOLLOWING
RESPONSIBILITIES:
1. LIGHTING DESIGN
2. SET DESIGN
3. COSTUME DESIGN
4. ADVERTISING
5. DIRECTOR'S BOOK
THEY WILL ALSO PERFORM A SHORT SCENE FROM THE PLAY. THESE WILL BE DUE AT THE
END OF THE SEMESTER.
THANKS FOR CHECKING IN
