The focus of the workshop was to think about creating TRUTH on stage.
Q - Why do we want to create truth on stage?
We started the session by playing a game called ‘I don’t believe you!’
Q- Why did we play this game?
Q- What did you learn from watching it / being part of it?
Write about one of the people that took part in the game (Chem, Tyler, Kimberley, TJ, Skye, Ursula) -
Q- What situation were they entering the room from?
Q- How were they able to show truth?
Q- What they change each time they entered the room?
Q- Were they successful in creating a truthful performance? How? Why?
After the break we explored breaking bad news using non-verbal communication.
Q- What is non-verbal communication?
Q- What scene did you create and who did you work with?
Q- How did you make sure the scenes were truthful?
Q- What other pair did you think were successful and why?
We then looked at SUBTEXT and I introduced you briefly to a theatre practitioner called Stanislavski. He created the theatre genre that we have now called Naturalism.
Task: Look up Stanislavski, find a picture of what he looks like and create a short fact-file on him.
You worked on a piece of text. You explored Leah’s first monologue. You worked with a partner to work out the subtext of the monologue. You need to UPLOAD the text you annotated to show what you did.
Q- What is subtext?
Q- Why did we work out the subtext of the monologue?
Q- Did it help you to have a better understanding of the character?
Last question...
Q- WHY will a truthful performance be important to our performance of DNA?
