Imagine that you have held auditions for the major roles and that at least five famous actors auditioned. Cast the two major roles. Then, explain to the actors you cast why they were chosen and to those you dont cast, explain specifically why each is not suited for the role. You can do this in a pantomimed phone conversation or in a letter.

Specialization 45 mins Staging a Musical Imagine that you have been appointed to direct the musical version of a play, movie, or TV show that you know well. As part of your task, write your preliminary ideas for this production as though you were sharing them with your producer. First, consider what that musical version might be like. Will it be comic, farcical, or serious? What kinds of songs might the actors sing? When might they sing them? Think about the differences in staging the musical version and the nonmusical version. You may want to accompany your explanation with a pair of illustrations for a major scene that demonstrates these differences, such as in costuming or blocking.

Small Group, Directing and Producing Performance 30 mins Production Decisions Team up with a partner. With one of you acting as director and the other as producer, discuss and plan choosing, staging, promoting, and managing a play for each of the audiences and performance spaces listed below. What types of plays do you think each audience would enjoy and why? How will the performance spaces affect your decisions for staging? What media might you use to promote a play to each of these audiences? What other particular issues need to be addressed? Audience Children, ages 6-12 Senior citizens People recovering from illness Your classmates and parents Your community People studying to become Canadian citizens Performance Space School lunchroom Banquet hall Small auditorium at a rehabilitation clinic Your school auditorium Local park Community theatre

Specialization 45 mins The Directing Team Work with a small group to form a directing team for a particular musical to be produced on your schools stage or on another area stage. Your directing team should have a director, musical director, and choreographer. Discuss the merits and pitfalls of various musicals. Choose one that you all know well and like equally well. Together, determine the production concept, the musical direction, and the style of the choreography for our show. Try something new and different. Change the time period or style of the musical from the versions you have seen. Keep in mind the money and resources for producing a musical, but concentrate on the concepts rather than the costs for this activity. Do sketches and write a description of your ideas to present to the class.

Exploration 30 mins Performance Spaces Work with one other student to choose a show for which you will act as coproducers. What kind of show is it? From a producers perspective, what are your concerns about the performance space where the show will be performed? What kind of stage will you need? What size auditorium will you need? What are the lighting and sound requirements of your show? What does that mean in terms of performance space? As you explore the producers role for our particular show, compile of list of things to consider. Preparation 45 mins Blocking Rehearsal Imagine that you are directing the play version of a fairy tale or folk tale that you know very well. Draw a simple ground plan of the set for one scene and use blocking symbols to block that scene. Ask other students to be actors in your scene and take them through your blocking. Note how well your blocking works and make appropriate changes to your plan. Be sure to consider the style of the show, which will affect your blocking. Exploration 45 mins Storytelling Festival Work together in a small group to prepare an outline for the telling of a story at a storytelling festival. Many festivals have times allotted for children and adults. Choose a story appropriate for one of those audiences. Assign the story narrator, the director, and the stage crew. Discuss the responsibilities of each for rehearsals and performance. Then outline the story presentation, giving suggestions and directions that address the following questions for the various parts of the story: Where will the narrator be position? What body movements and vocal qualities will the narrator use for each character I each part of the story? What technical effects will be required? Present your ideas to other groups in the class and incorporate any useful feedback into your outline.

Preparation 35 mins Cold Reading Critiques Two small groups work together on this assignment. Each group chooses one of the scenes from the historical profiles in your textbook that gives all members in the group a role, plus one remaining person to handle technical responsibilities. Actors in each group will have only ten minutes to silently read the scene and make role assignments. During this time, the tech person scans the scene and gathers improvised items for props, costumes, and sound effects that are necessary: two stacked chairs might serve as a tree; a coat might be draped as a robe; an actors voice might simulate the birdcalls of the woods. Then members of each group take turns presenting the old reading while the other group critiques the scene and takes notes. After both readings, the groups then meet and discuss the notes together.

Performance 50 mins Radio Spots Work with a partner to plan two 60 second radio commercials, or spots, to publicize a play your school is producing or one you would like your school to produce. Assume that one radio spot will be read live over the schools public address system and the other will be a prerecorded broadcast on a local radio station. Write the script for each spot, considering the audience for each. Make your radio spot as interesting as possible, and make sure all the relevant informationthe names of the play, playwright and director, and the location, times and ticket prices for the performances. Include sound effect6s as part of the script. Write a list of things to do to get the spots ready for broadcasts, taking turns reading and directing. When you are ready, each of you can read one of your spots to the class while the other descries or simulates the sound effects you have planned.

Specialization 50 mins Screenplay Adaptation Working with a partner, choose a one-page selection from a scene in a plat tat you like or from a scene in one of the historical profiles in your textbook. Analyze the selection (in the context of the entire scene) to see what changes might need to be made to the script with the necessary changes in mind, using the format for a screenplay described in the Writing & Theatre section. Prepare a shooting script of the selection you chose, identifying the types of shots you envision. You may make a rough storyboard of the script first. Read your screenplay or shooting script to the class if time allows. Performance 10 mins In Three Places at Once Choose one of the situations below and improvise your reactions to the situation, first as an actor, next as the stage manager, and finally, as a tech person (you may address the situation from any technical area). A dog walks onstage in the middle of the balcony scene in an outdoor performance of Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet. During dress rehearsal, an actor in a major role trips over a flat learning against a wall and is seriously injured. People in the audience start to sing along with the actors during one of the songs in a musical.

Specialization 45 minutes Planning a Multimedia Presentation Turn a scene from a play you know quite well into a multimedia presentation. Use a play that you enjoy or, if you dont have a script available, use a scene from one of the historical profiles in your textbook. Using the questions below, draw up a plan for your multimedia presentation. Use these questions as starting points to stimulate your thinking; you may not need to answer every question. Assume your classmates and teacher are your audience. How will a multimedia presentation affect the characters in the play? Might a character become a tape recording or a videotaped entity? If so, which characters would be best suited for this and why? How will the blocking and pacing of the play be affected by the multimedia components? How will scenery change? Can I eliminate flats and replace them with a projection screen? How will lighting and sound be affected if I have access to computers, VCRs, and so on? Will I have to change costuming to make the scene seem more contemporary? Exploration 40 mins Exploring Points of View Think of a favorite story or one you have ready recently. Imagine iot adapted and performed as a play. Write a commentary on the challenges of such a production from an actors point of view, a directors or producers point of view, or a tech persons point of view. As an actor, you should include ideas about the characters and the challenges actors might face in portraying these characters. As a director, you should state your ideas about the performance space requirements and potential production concepts for the play. As a producer, you should consider the plays market potential in your community and the projected costs for production. As a tech person, address the specific
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _ Drama Exercises Page 15

technical requirements of the play; you might focus on one technical area or on a particular scene as an example of the technical challenges.

Preparation 40 mins Famous Figure Choose a famous figure from history or the present day. Write a quick character sketch of that person, including a physical description, information on his or her personality, and a famous feat or even in this persons life. Imagine a one-person show about this famous figure that presents that feat or event. How might an actor use his or her body and voice to portray such a person in this situation? What style would be suitable and what blocking would work well? What sets, props, lighting, sound, costumes, and makeup might be necessary for the production? Would a play about this person be a success in your town or might it have more success elsewhere? How might such a show be promoted? Take notes on your answers to these questions and present your ideas to the class for feedback. Small Group, Technical Theatre Performance 5 mins Crew Checklists A tech rehearsal can have its ups and downs, but checklists can help keep a tech rehearsal running smoothly. Write a generic checklist that would apply to a technical rehearsal for any play for each of the tech crews: set (shifting) crew, prop crew, lighting crew, costume crew, and makeup crew. If youre currently involved in a production, use that show as the basis for your checklists. Supply any illustrations or graphic aids that you think will heolp. Refer to your textbook pages 353-354 to review the activities of the tech crews during tech rehearsal. Specialization 45 mins Masks and Mood Working in pairs, choose four scenes from the historical profiles and determine the dominant mood, or atmosphere, of each scene. Then design
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _ Drama Exercises Page 16

masks and suggest music and lighting for each scene that will evoke the mood of the scene. You need only do masks for the main characters in each scene. Draw the masks and list the music titles or, if you dont have a specific title, the style of music you think is appropriate for the scene. Describe the lighting effects or indicate them in your drawings of the masks. Exploration 45 mins Safety First Your textbook includes many safety trips for working in the scene shop, working with electricity, and working with costumes and makeup. With a small group of no more than three people, study these safety tips and also discuss any other safety measures for working with various pieces of equipment and supplies, such as those listed in your textbook. Then, compete with other small groups in y9our class in a game of Safety First. In this game, your teacher will name a piece of equipment or a supply, or an are of the theatre with potential safety hazards. The first member of the group to raise his or her hand earns the group a chance to identify an appropriate and significant safety tip, which is worth a point. The appropriateness and significance of each tip will be determined by the teacher and the rest of the class. There may be more than one appropriate safety tip, but you need only name one to earn a point. For each additional safety tip, you will earn another point. If there is no significant safety tip, you can explain why an item or area is relatively safe and earn a point for that. If you name an inappropriate or nonsignificant safety tip, your group will lose a point. Preparation 40 mins Delegating Responsibilities Work in a small group to choose a short scene from a play. You will need to have the script in front of you so you should use a scene thats readily available. If necessary, use a scene from one of the historical profiles in your text or a scene from The Book of Scenes for Aspiring Actors. Choose one group member to be in charge of each of the following categories: set, props, costumes, lighting, sound, and makeup. Read through the scene and make a list of your responsibilities for your particular tech area for that scene. For costumes and props, provide information telling how you might acquire the

Individual, Acting Exploration 15 mins Pantomiming Emotions Practice using pantomime to communicate emotions in each f the situations listed below. Experiment with your body movements and facial expressions as you practice until you find those that you think work best. Be prepared to mime these situations on command. For example, your teacher may say, Walk home after a great date, and you pantomime that action. Walk toward someone you have been avoiding for a week. Walk toward your best friend after you have found out that they have been dating your significant other. Walk home after a great time with your friends Wave hello to someone you dont like very much.

Be sure to consider the character of the person you are addressing as well as your own character. Try not to exceed five minutes in length. Youre a young, married adult who has just become a parent. Your best friend has done something dishonest and doesnt see anything wrong with it. You confront someone with irrefutable evidence that they have wronged you. You tell someone how much you appreciate their help with something. You try to explain to a parent or guardian why you need to use the car on Saturday night. Specialization 25 mins Character Changes Imagine that in the course of a play you portray a character that goes through three physical stages in your life. Portray these three stages in the form of pantomime, improvisation, or both. Try to emphasize how the characters movements would change.

Specialization 36 mins Readers Theatre Plus As a small group, select something to read aloud in a dramatic reading, similar to Readers Theatre, but with the addition of pantomimed action. The selection should not be literarythat is, it shouldnt be a cutting from a play or other recognized piece. Look for an article or column from a newspaper or magazine, perhaps a dramatic news story, a humorous column, or a letter to the editor. You might even find an excerpt from a social studies text, such as a journal entry. As a group, analyze the selection for mood, theme, intent, imagery, and the tonal qualities you can use to read the piece. Divide your group into those who will read the selection and those who will pantomime the action. Rehearse and then perform the piece for the class.
