Lesson Plans
- Modern Day Shakespeare: In this lesson students will recite, translate and act out a Shakespearian scene. Students will first read the scene as written, then break down the language into contemporary English. The lesson will conclude with the students performing the scenes for the class.
- Shifting Objects of Attention: One of the primary ways students can maintain their focus and concentration on stage is using the shifting of object of attention within a scene to stay in truthful moments while sustaining a character. In this lesson, the students will pre-assess how they focus in real life, students will be introduced to examples of people using object of attention. Students will use stream of conscious speaking/writing to describe the object of attention shifting in their pre-rehearsed scene.
