UNIT 3 THEATRE STUDIES – PRODUCTION PROCESS Unit 3 Theatre Studies OUTCOME 1 Production Process APPLY STAGECRAFT TO INTERPRET A PLAYSCRIPT FOR PERFORMANCE TO AN AUDIENCE AND DEMONSTRATE UNDERSTANDING OF THE STAGES OF THE PRODUCTION PROCESS (50 MARKS) PRODUCTION PROCESS This area of study focuses on the development of skills which contribute to the interpretation of a playscript. Students work collaboratively to contribute to the development of a production. The students undertake exercises and tasks as a member of the production team in the development of a playscript through the four stages of production including production planning; production development; production season; production evaluation. Students develop an understanding of, and enhance skills that contribute to, the stages of the theatre production process. Examples include contribution to the production, working in collaboration with others, time management, organisation, production management, scheduling and planning. OUTCOME 1 Apply stagecraft to interpret a playscript for performance to an audience and demonstrate understanding of the stages of the production process. On completion of this unit the student should be able to apply stagecraft to interpret a playscript for performance to an audience and demonstrate understanding of the stages of the production process. You are required to be an active member of the production team that works on the School Musical Production. You are required to maintain an annotated production folio of the element of stagecraft you are working on as part of the production. In the production process, there are four stages that you must work through in order to develop a successful performance. It is important you work on it throughout the semester as it is a lot of work to complete within a short space of time. The folio will be broken up into four sections: PLANNING (Nov ‘10 – Feb ‘11) (4-6 pages) All your research, brainstorming, ideas and sketches based on your elements of stagecraft need to go in this section. Also research that you have done on the historical and social context of the play. This includes where, when and who are the people involved. Little Shop of Horrors musical production, books you’ve read that have given you inspiration or ideas etc. You should also include small notes about why it has been included in your folio. Theatre Studies – Miss Kat Cusworth [email protected] 1 UNIT 3 THEATRE STUDIES – PRODUCTION PROCESS DEVELOPMENT (March – May) (4-6 pages) You need to choose from your ideas to develop into final products. For example, after developing 5 sketches for a costume for one of the characters, you chose of the designs to make for actor playing that character. You should include photos of you making the costume, it being worn by the actor as well as anything else you feel should be included. SEASON (May – June) (4-6 pages) The final products on display! This could range from photos and comments of you performing your character on stage, to final costume and make up designs on the appropriate people. In this section, you should also include the program with your name in it, a ticket and possibly some comments from the audience about your elements of stagecraft. EVALUATION (June) (4-6 pages) This is the section where you reflect on the work you and your production team have done of the school production. The most important thing to remember is to be reflective on your own abilities and participation. Also include things that you could do better next time or something you would like to investigate or know more about. It is about being reflective, not critical. DOCUMENTATION Each section of the folio requires 2 to 4 pages (A3) or 4 to 6 pages (A4) of development of your stagecraft elements which includes the attached questions or dot points. The documentation will be presented as a production folio of about 8-12 pages or equivalent for each area of stagecraft selected by you. Folios can either be digital or hardcopy. Documentation includes: text or writing illustrations diagrams photos 3D models digital video recordings like DVD or DivX, mp4 files digital sound recordings like mp3, wav Theatre Studies – Miss Kat Cusworth [email protected] 2 UNIT 3 THEATRE STUDIES – PRODUCTION PROCESS OUTCOME 1 – PRODUCTION PROCESS: Apply stagecraft to interpret a playscript for performance to an audience and demonstrate understanding of the stages of the production process NAME: ____________________ 10 MARKS 8 MARKS 6 MARKS 4 MARKS 2 MARKS Four stages of the production process Sophisticated knowledge of the four stages of the production process Well-developed knowledge of the four stages of the production process Some knowledge of the four stages of the production process Some knowledge of some stages of the production process Limited knowledge of some stages of the production process Chosen areas of stagecraft Very detailed, insightful and well researched application of two areas of stagecraft Detailed and well researched application of two areas of stagecraft at all stages of production process Clear application of two areas of stagecraft at all stages of the production process Little understanding of interpretation of a playscript for performance Contribution & collaborative process Outstanding and highly informed contribution to the collaborative process Excellent and well-informed contribution to the collaborative processes used Communication of production process Communicate a very high level understanding of the stages of the production process Communicate a high level understanding of the stages of the production process Satisfactory contribution to the collaborative processes used at all stages of the production process Communicate a sound understanding of the stages of the production process Application of two areas of stagecraft that contribute to the development and presentation of a production is not consistent Some contribution to the collaborative processes used to develop and present interpretation Limited communication of understanding of the stages of the production process Precise and perceptive use of appropriate theatre language, terminology and expressions to facilitate development Perceptive use of appropriate theatre language, terminology and expressions to facilitate the development General use of theatre language, terminology and expressions to facilitate the development Some use of theatre language, terminology and expressions in the development Theatrical language, terminology & expressions Little or no attempt to apply areas of stagecraft that contributes to the production Limited contribution to the collaborative processes used to that necessary in the development of the production Limited use of appropriate theatre language, terminology and/or expressions in the development and/or presentation of the production MARK Theatre Studies – Miss Kat Cusworth [email protected] 3 /50
