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

• Character, role, relationships and situation: motivation, subtext, status and given circumstances
• Focus, tension, space, time, language, symbol, audience, mood and atmosphere
• The ten aspects of voice and how to manipulate them for dramatic meaning
• The nine aspects of movement, proxemics and blocking
• Director's vision, themes and issues, improvisation, and rehearsal versus performance
• Historical, social and cultural context, character values and point of view
