This week we discussed the wonderful world of Elizabethan England in the theater. It was a ripe time for change and growth! Stock theaters began as the audiences grew board of the same far night in and night out. We discussed the pros and cons of this type of company. Also, we learned that we can see this very type of company perform to this day with summer stock theater alive and well in New England!
In our time of technique we discovered the "code" written for stage positioning!
Drama 4 watched this video...
Drama 2 and 3 watched this one...
Then we worked on tableau to practice using the whole stage, talking about where we were (in code!) , and levels of our bodies to help with creating dimension in a scene!
