Introduction to Drama- Syllabus
Students read and examine four plays beginning with the origins of theater in ancient Greece and end with modern dramatic material. They read authors such as, but not limited to: Sophocles, Shakespeare, Moliere & Tennessee Williams. Students will work with sound and movement technique that examines physical leads and alignment, vocal tone and projection technique, designed to create an ensemble capable of telling a story through the dramatic medium. Classes will touch upon concept and character analysis. Students will perform their own original work for their mid year exam; and perform scenes from literature studied for their final exam. By the end of the year, students will be able to carry on their own and support within an ensemble, dramatic material.
Drama II & III: Solo Performance - Syllabus
Students write and perform a one woman show over the course of the semester. They watch solo performers Anna Deavere Smith, Spaulding Gray, Bill Cosby, Lily Tomlin, Julie Harris' & Jack Aranson . Deriving from the masters' fiction, non fiction, biographical, political, and comedic works, each student must create a piece with at least five characters to be performed for an audience of family and friends. The performance final will be held Saturday January 7th.
