Since this is a course about theatre, students are expected to do a short assignment related to performance or production. These will be presented to the class. At the end of each presentation, the presenters will have some questions to initiate class discussion. A written report is to be handed to the instructor on the day of the presentation. (Note: please give the instructor any a/v requests at least a week before.)
Presentations will be evaluated on:
- appropriateness of choices
- enthusiasm /creativity
- effectiveness of questions; and
- presentation.
Papers will be evaluated on:
- focus;
- organization;
- links to course texts and/or discussions;
- quality of research;
- explanation of choices; and
- presentation.
*Each member will privately submit their opinion of the proportion of the grade that each member should receive, including themselves. (e.g.: someone in a group of three who feels that everyone participated equally would give each member 33.3%).
Options:
Performance of a monologue, dialogue, or group scene. Accompanying paper will explain the approach taken to the scene (parts need not be memorized. Costuming etc. not necessary).
Costume and/or set design; staging: choose a play, or significant scene(s) therein, and detail how you would design for it and/or stage it. Accompanying paper will explain the approach taken.
