Strengths and Areas for Development

You achieved D2 of Theatre for Children by making an enthusiastic and focused
contribution to the development process. Ideas and suggestions were imaginative,
inventive and showed a firm understanding of the key elements of children’s
theatre and the needs of the target audience.
You achieved
M2/3 of Storytelling as Performance, you showed a better understanding of use of stylistic and
structural elements and will have used these elements in a creative manner
that, for the most part, meets the needs of the audience.

You are a lively, contributor who has
many effective ideas to contribute to the group. You developed well from the
first storytelling assessment work to the final piece. You became more
confident vocally and adapted well to the particular needs of the Snow Queen
piece.
Rehearsals & Workshops – Skills
Development
The rehearsal process and your
development were affected by your attendance. You contributed ideas that
could not be followed up properly and disrupted the flow of full runs of the
piece. You need to improve your consistency to ensure that both your
progression within the group continues & that your learning experience is
more consistent,
|
Task 2

Production of Children’s Theatre Piece– DVD/Observation

control and any lapses in consistency were infrequent.
You achieved D5 of

of how the style of presentation could be tailored to the needs of the audience,
responding to the reactions of audience members in an appropriate and
imaginative way.

characterisation for the role of the Snow Queen, sustaining the role during
challenges from the audience and pitching the level of your performance
perfectly for each audience.

|
You achieved P1 of Theatre for Children by providing an unelaborated description

You achieved M1 of

in a more detailed account of the ways in which the material might be used.
Performance & Production Role/s -

Skills Development
Your blog needs to be maintained throughout
the process. You have not made any attempt to update your blog since
20/11/12. This has meant that there is no post-show analysis or reflection on
the audience reaction.
To
improve your grade you need
to show you were able to make imaginative suggestions about how you developed
both your storytelling & your Snow Queen performances in your blog. What
did you do to make your performances work for the audiences that saw them?
Why? How did it work? In particular, discuss the ways you adapted the stories
for the Year 13 class and then the small children.

Assessor’s
Summary:
Strengths –I am most pleased with your
characterisation work. You are comfortable experimenting with a variety of
vocal and movement approaches. You contributed well to the Snow Queen process
developing effective characterisation choices and maintaining the energy
required throughout each performance. You took a creative, independent
approach to the production roles which proved beneficial to the group and had
pleasing results.
Development-
You need to improve
your approach to recording evidence of your work. It is always going to be
required and needs to be tackled. You are cable of clear analytical thinking
and need to ensure you provide evidence of this. Your attendance affected
your consistency when it came to rehearsal contributions.
