Analyzing the Play and Given Circumstances

by Drama Teacher Academy

This lesson marks the shift from working on exercises to working directly on the scenes. Students will revisit their scenes and do some preliminary analysis about the plot, style, and main ideas of the plays these scenes come from. They will learn about given circumstances and their importance. Students will complete a character analysis in order to give them information about the given circumstances of their character to use in scene work.
