Ish. • What is your narrative? • Authenticity of voice, body language & costume • Use of space & set (don’t just use tables and chairs) • Mastery of the elements of drama • Expand our understanding of the themes & issues highlighted in your play • Close is not good enough, but it’s better than nothing.

  4. Narrative • Your story requires tension. • Where is the focus? • “Can I just stage part of the script?” • Well, technically yes, but…

  5. Consider Voice • Variety of intonations • Variety of volumes • Variety of paces • Authenticity of emotion, accent, etc.

  6. Consider Posture • Approaching/warm • Leaning forward in an attentive manner • Withdrawn/cold • Drawing back or turning away • Proud/conceited • Expanded chest, straight back, head held high & raised shoulders • Sad/submissive • Head/eyes downcast, body slumped, shoulders drooping, chest sunken

  7. Consider Gesture • Hands up – surrender, peace • Head nod – agreement, attentive listening, excitement • Head shake – disagreement, disapproval • Hand clap – agreement, excitement • Finger point – directions, accusations • Hand covering mouth – lying • Hand covering face – afraid • Hands clenched – frustration • Hands fiddling – nervous • Fists clenched – angry • Nail-biting - insecure

  8. Consider Costuming & Setting • What space will you use & how? • What props do you need? (minimal is best) • What clothing do you need?

  9. Rationale • Mention your use of dramatic elements • Discuss use of symbolism • Demonstrate you were aware of your dramatic choices, and each choice had an impact
