Overview
Watch a show online and compose a response for the show. The show could be a drama, an opera, (the show in a theater )etc.NOT a movie or a film. The requirements are below:
Assignment:See one professional theatre production at an established venue, preferably in Boston, and one Theatre Department production, and write a 2-3 page paper for each (that is 2 papers) outlining your responses to the productions. Your ability to communicate in clear, concise writing is as important as your attentive, considered perceptions of each production. The content of each response paper is purposely left somewhat open. Use the following guidelines to help you shape your own compelling ideas about the productions.You should include the link of the show in the end of your paper.
Paper:
- Two to three pages (each) double spaced, one inch margins, twelve point font, appropriate cover page, appropriate research and/ or citations as needed.
- Save the link of the show in the end of your paper.
- Use appropriate terminology to describe the event.
- Discuss the production/ dramaturgical aspects of the show,eg:
o Were the designers all "working on the same show"? o Did one aspect of the production stand out from the
others? Was this appropriate? o Did the design and technology of the production
contribute to or detract from a satisfying experience? o What unique or compelling elements did you observe about the stagecraft or design being used in these
productions? o How was the experience of this live theatre event different from what a movie or television even might been?
This is not a critique of individual performances, though you may reference them in relationship to your overall response to the play.
