Task 1
For use with WJEC Performing Arts GCSE Unit 1 and Unit 3
Task 1
Fourth Wall• Think of an activity that could be
performed on a wall, e.g. putting on make-up in a mirror, looking out of a window, painting a wall, etc.
• Walk on one by one and perform your activity using the "fourth" wall.
• The audience can then discuss how effective the performances were.
Task 1
Thought Tracking• Each group will perform in turn.
• Whilst the group is performing, the teacher can stop the action at any time and freeze the actors.
• At this point, any member of the audience can ask the character how they are feeling, what are their thoughts.
• If the audience member doesn't feel the actor is communicating that thought, they can give the actor advice on how they could communicate it better.
Task 2
Circles of attention
Rehearse a scene from your play but vary where you focus your eyes to create different effects.
Task 3
Group directing• Your teacher will choose one group to
perform and then split the rest of the class into 3 or 4.
• Each group will take on the role of directors.
• The performing group will rehearse one of their scenes.
• At the end of the scene, each actor will go to an allocated group, who will direct their performance and make possible changes to enhance it.
Task 4
Distil to the essence
Distil each scene to the essence by:
• creating one still image for each scene
• including one line of dialogue.
Task 5
Communicating intentions
• Remove the words of the text of each scene and mime, making the intention of the characters as clear as you possibly can.
• Repeat the scene, putting the dialogue back in, but keeping the intentions clear.
Task 6
Who's telling the truth?
Task 7• Get into pairs.• Tell each other a story (true or
false) about something that has happened to you, e.g. falling off a bike, winning a competition, going on the holiday of a lifetime.
• Decide on the best story and both practise telling the story.
Question improvisation • Sit in a circle as a class.• Two volunteers will stand
in the centre of the circle.• Improvise a scenario, but
you may only talk in questions. For example, your scene could be set in a hotel and person A wants a room.
