TEC640STAGECRAFT 3 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Stagecraft is offered as a two-year program appropriate for all students in grades 9 – 12. Stagecraft I will acquaint the students with the important skills needed to present a major production and it provides them with a solid foundation that is vitally important for further work in the field. The course is designed for students who have an active interest and/or desire to experience theatrical design. It focuses on numerous aspects of technical theatre while supporting and complementing the drama program in the Parsippany-Troy Hills School District. Students will examine and evaluate a variety of design construction techniques and develop proficiency in general design principles.

Stagecraft I actively engages the students in the design, construction and presentation of theatrical productions. Students enrolled in this program will ultimately have the opportunity to stage musicals, format variety shows, and set up for concerts and social events that occur in the buildings. Additional work will be available to highly motivated students on a volunteer basis after school hours. Separately we assess students to gauge progress and inform instruction. Benchmark assessments for students in grades 9 through 12 are administered in the form of a midterm and final exam for full year courses. *Special Note: Only final exams are administered at the end of quarter courses and semester

RATIONALE Stagecraft I is a full year course that seeks to provide students with experience, knowledge, and skill in the areas of theatrical technology and musical production. A hands-on framework will be utilized to provide the students with the means of developing a “Big Picture” understanding of all the facets that need to be identified and considered when preparing the stage for a performance. Therefore, several new practices that incorporate updated technological principles have been added. Critical thinking skills are used to solve a variety of difficult design and construction problems. Stagecraft I challenges the students to process, design, build and highlight elaborate architectural features.

Stagecraft I curriculum is aligned with the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for 21st Century Life and Careers and the New Jersey Standards for Technology. It has been revised in alignment with the Student Learning English Language Arts Standards for Literacy in Science and Technical Subjects.

THE LIVING CURRICULUM Curriculum guides are designed to be working documents. Teachers are encouraged to make notes on the document. Written comments can serve as the basis for future revisions. In addition, the teachers and administrators are invited to discuss elements of the guides as implemented in the class- room and to work collaboratively to develop recommendations for curriculum reforms as needed.

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION

Every effort has been made to uphold both the letter and spirit of affirmative action mandates as applied to the content, the texts and the instruction inherent in this course.

TEC640STAGECRAFT 21 SAMPLE AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT

TASK: A professional theatre troupe is presenting their performance of a major movie production on our high school stage. They have asked the students in the Stagecraft classes to submit a model design proposal depicting various scenes from the chosen movie. In addition to the set design model, students will be required to orally explain their design to the theatre troupe.

A few basic materials will be provided such as: Styrofoam, acrylic paint and a base on which the model will be constructed.

CRITERIA:

The group’s model must be built to scale and contain at least five elements of design.
