Interpret scripted text to integrate drama techniques in performance
You'll perform a scene from a published play, making deliberate choices about how your character speaks, moves, and uses the stage to show what the script means. You need to write down why you made these choices and annotate your script to show your thinking. The goal is to blend voice, body, movement, and space techniques together so your performance tells a convincing, layered story that connects to the whole play.
You interpret the scripted text and use drama techniques (voice, body, movement, space) in your performance, with a statement of intention and annotated script showing your choices are connected to the play.
You skilfully integrate all techniques with competence, control, and clear purpose—your voice, body, movement, and space work together dexterously and your performance shows sustained, purposeful interpretation throughout.
You effectively integrate techniques to draw out layers of meaning in the scripted text—your performance is sustained, truthful, convincing, and has real impact, with techniques supporting and enhancing your interpretation.
