This week in Advanced Theater!
As you may have guessed this week Advanced Theater students prepared for Play Festival. Unfortunately, we were not permitted to film or photograph the actual performance at the festival due to copyright infringements but I will provide a class rehearsal recording so that you may see them in action! Again, they did a great job on Saturday and I am very proud of them.
This week in Theater One!
In Theater One we have been studying substitution. In Theater the term substitution refers to an actor using his/her own personal experiences and feelings to portray a character's feelings/situation. Often, as actors, we find that we have not shared the same experiences that our characters share but we have shared the same emotions. In this exercise the actor must substitute his/her own personal feelings for the character's in the scene. This sounds simple but it is very complicated. I am very proud of the work Theater One has achieved in this lesson!
This week in Advanced Dance!
In Advanced Dance we have been studying choreographic elements (Time, space and Design). The students were taught movement phrases demonstrating these elements and were later asked to create their own movement or manipulate previously learned movement using the elements (Time - 1/2, 1/4, full, double; Space - levels, facings, areas; Design - manipulation of movement phrases using various guideline/choreographic manipulation). Advanced Dance has been very successful with their choreographic projects and you can look forward to seeing their completed work at the Christmas Concert in December!
