Scene Self-Staging: Teaching Students to Block Theatrically and Independently

Scene Self-Staging: Teaching Students to Block Theatrically and Independently

by Lindsay Price

You need your students to work independently on a scene but when it's time to present they seem to have forgotten everything you've taught them.

Scene Self-Staging gives students a process to follow to help them produce a fully staged scene with specific dynamic blocking and three-dimensional characters.

Scene Self-Staging: Teaching Students to Block Theatrically & Independently provides an in-depth step-by-step process to help students master their scenes - from choosing a scene to script analysis to presentation.

All material is geared toward independent, student-driven staging. Assessment suggestions are provided for each step, or you can just use the Performance Rubric.

Help your students stage their scenes to the best of their ability – and do it all without you!
