1-2 Beginning Stagecraft For Grades 10-12
This class is to be an introduction to
all the aspects of technical theater through hands on design and production
projects. Much of the class time will be spent mounting the three main stage
productions and numerous assemblies throughout the year. The class will be a
laboratory in which to practice those skills necessary to the orderly
preparation of a play for production. The aim, beyond the acquisition of
skills, is to provide a theatre experience, which makes it vividly clear the
aesthetic potential of each element that contributes to a production and the
appreciation of the technical side of theater arts. The emphasis is to be on
student-centered activities, which will help the student develop their own
skills and creative talents in technical theater.
