Theatre Arts

Students enrolled in Theatre Arts classes will study Pantomime, Voice, Improvisation, Characterization, and Reading/Writing Scripts following a traditional plot order. They will examine formal and informal dramatic production and communication, and will learn to identify plot structure and themes within a dramatization scene by scene. Students will work collaboratively to research necessary technical work that goes into productions including costumes, set, props, sound, lighting, and structure/organization of all the elements, focusing on what impact these technical elements have on the production. They will also explore different historically and/or culturally significant forms of theatre and a wide range of modern applications for the art of acting beyond theatre, and will demonstrate appropriate theatre etiquette every time they function as an audience member, performer, or technician.
