Drama 2,3,4 - 10/8/13

This week we covered the Golden Age in theater history!  This time of Renaissance for the theater in Spain.  With the influx of fortune to many in Spanish trading, there was a large boon in wealthy benefactors giving many the opportunity to write live plays like never before!  During a period of less then 100 years there were more then 10,000 plays written, many of which are still considered classics!  The lower classes were also able to go and see live theater making this time in theater a wonderful span of the classes.

In our practical discussion we talked about what the 4th wall is, how to use it, and what it helps actors create for the audience.  Then we were able to do a speed drill working on the 4th wall and working on our audience skills!
