Issues in performing arts are also discussed and debated. Students also plan and write their own plays - first through improvisational techniques with no actual script, then working with scripts, and finally through a group project which is planned, designed, and produced entirely by them. Almost all of the students' work in class is videotaped and replayed for their own evaluations and critiques of the work. Music history Students listen to and discuss the changes in music from Medieval times to the 1990's. Music as a reflection of the broader world is part of this unit.
Students have a chance to understand performing arts as a useful means of providing knowledge.
Design Students have an opportunity to see themselves as artists through costume design and a brief introduction to staging and lighting. Candid, Cry Freedom, Fixed-up and others. Expectations and Evaluation Attendence School procedures will be strictly enforced. During class time students must demonstrate satisfactory involvement with class activities. Because this course is student-oriented and does not use a specific test, student attendance is crucial to direct participation in experiencing the performing arts.
