Statement of Inquiry: Acting is the art of emotional intelligence.
Factual questions: What is non-naturalism? What is a realist approach to acting? What is 'Transformation of character? Who was Brecht? What is 'Theatre of Cruelty?'
Conceptual questions: How do we symbolically represent aspects of the human experience? How do we portray real life?
Debatable statements: Films don’t let you think. Non-naturalism makes you think.
Welcome to Term 1, year 9/10 Drama 2018.
In this Unit of work we will explore the ‘what’ and the ‘why’ of acting through the lens of non-naturalism (this terms ‘how’).
We will explore
…what is acting? The definitions many practitioners have used to describe what acting is.
…why acting: why do we act? Why do we pretend? Why do we tell stories? Why is acting and celebrity so celebrated?
…and the how: how do we act using different styles, approaches and forms of performance?
