Status
:
|
Our high school teachers regularly review course offerings to ensure content reflects current standards and is relevant and applicable. Based on our strong commitment to engage all learners, the following updated course is being proposed in Visual and Performing Arts: Stagecraft.
This course will introduce students to the basics of technical theatre, as well as dramatic performance and literature. Stagecraft students will make design choices using text analysis, character research, dramaturgy, reflection, and revision, to create technical scenic elements effectively defining the world of the play. Student technical staff will design all technical elements, i.e., sets, props, costumes, hair and make-up, lighting, sound and multimedia effects, and provide technical support during performances. Students undergo the entire rehearsal/production process as designers and technical support members, documenting these processes with written assignments that will demonstrate practical and critical thinking skills and meet performance criteria.
