End of the Year Lesson: Low-Tech Design

by Drama Teacher Academy

In this lesson, students will analyze and stage a scene from a Victorian ghost story using only low-tech solutions. They must design lighting, sound, and costumes without traditional theatrical equipment or period-accurate attire. Instead, they will rely on atmosphere, found lighting, and live sound effects to bring the genre to life.

Students will have two days to prepare and execute a one-minute memorized scene that showcases their design choices.

Use this lesson at the end of the year, after a major assessment, or following a year-end/semester-end production.
