Prepare for a tutoring lesson.

Try this with Drama

1. Pick one topic and bring a question, an attempted answer or a short section of your notes.
2. Write a goal you can check at the end, such as explaining a method or improving a response.
3. Choose one independent follow-up task to try after working through the example.

Pick a starting point

• The four dramatic languages: forms and styles, conventions, elements, skills
• Role, character and relationship on the page and in performance
• Tension, mood, contrast and dramatic focus
• Time, place, space, situation, symbol, language and movement
• What unites the styles: purpose, non-realism and social commentary
• Brechtian conventions: gestus, historification, placard, narration and the broken fourth wall
