Drama BPW 2015

This was actually really awesome.

We covered:

Devising at all levels.  Key take-aways:

1. Reflect, reflect, reflect
2. Can be used to assess other standards (character dependent)
3. Intention is important when stated in the standard boxes.
4. Devise within a form is good.

Theatre Practitioner.  Level 3.  Key take-aways:

1.   Look for the why
2.   Then look for the explaining of how features affect audience.
3.   Explain the form, explain the features, use the features, explain the effect on the audience
4.   Better with a text than a devised piece.
5.   Can be put together and edited by the student.

Theatre form.  All levels.  Key take-aways:

1.   Use of form features should be about what YOU are doing, not the group.
2.   Can be directed at levels 1 and 2.  Not at 3.
3.   Some theatre forms are too hard for level 1.
4.   Features need to be clearly defined and students explain how they use them.
5.   Can be explained simply and by video if needed.
