What are interrelating factors in Theatre?

L.O To be able to understand what the constituent features of a performance are and how they interrelate.

So I can:

Identify the constituent features within the performance I am studying

(Constituent = part of a whole)

Describe and analyse how these features relate and work together to create the final performance

How the different people involved in a performance work together to create the overall piece.

This is the overview of your component

Multiple Select

Which of the following do you think are "constituent" features of a production? (For this question I want us to think about a typical West End Musical style performance).

• Technical

For our next piece of repertoire each group/pathway will be looking at a different piece. Actors will be looking at either DNA or Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night time, Dancers will be looking at either Andrew Winghart (Cry Me a river) or Bob Fosse (All that jazz) and Singers will be looking at either Hamilton or Wicked. Please choose which pathway you wish to focus on in this next piece. Remember this is mainly research but you will explore elements of the piece practically.

• Acting

• Dance

• Singing/Musical Theatre

Open Ended

For our next piece of repertoire each group/pathway will be looking at a different piece. Actors will be looking at either DNA or Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night time, Dancers will be looking at either Andrew Winghart (Contemporary) or Bob Fosse (jazz) and Singers will be looking at either Hamilton or Wicked. Now tell me which piece you would prefer to study for your area.

Reflect and direct.

Before next lesson you need to find out 5 things about the piece you have chosen. E.g. the creator, cast members, style, summary of the piece.
