Each student submits the following for assessment
Video requirements
The video can be either:
OR
Recommended maximum timings for each Criterion
Criteria A - The unfamiliar theatre tradition
With reference to their research, each student explains the unfamiliar world theatre tradition and explains the performance convention they have chosen to explore. Source material should support the students's explanation of both the tradition and the performance convention chosen, as examiners are interested in ensuring the student's research is upheld and framed by pertinent evidence from the primary and/or secondary sources explored. 5 minutes
Criteria B - Practical exploration of the performance convention
Each student demonstrates their process of practical exploration of the performance convention, having worked to develop an understanding of the performance convention through the body and/or voice. They also physically demonstrate how they have experimented with applying the performance convention to traditional performance material from the world theatre tradition.
Note: The physical demonstration is not a sustained theatrical performance, but a demonstration of how each student has practically explored the performance convention, broken it down, experimented with it, embodied it, and applied it during their own unique process of exploration. 5 minutes
Criteria C - Reflection on learning
Each student explains how their practical exploration of the performance convention has contributed to their continuing development as a performer. Each student also explains how their inquiry into the chosen theatre tradition has further developed their understanding of theatre in the world. 5 minutes
The student being assessed is the only one who may appear in the video recording.
Present in first person, and be as specific as you possibly can when explaining your findings. Images and practical demonstrations help enormously here.
You should approach your presentation as an educated theatre-maker who is introducing a new theatre tradition/style to fellow, knowledgeable theatre professionals. So supporting your information with reliable sources, and practicing your presentation so that you come across as confident, are essential.
Your presentation will probably use technical support - such as PowerPoint, video projection, slides, handouts or basic lighting, props, or set. Any projections, media, or slides you use must be visible live alongside/behind you on the camera: you are not allowed to use editing techniques to split screen or place captions over the video later. You must ensure you can be clearly heard by practicing the recording of your presentation and watching back. You may ask others for technical support prior to your presentation, but you may not have anyone else assist you or appear in the recorded presentation in any way. Do not ask questions of the audience (that you expect or require an answer from).
All sources consulted must be attributed using a standard referencing system. It is challenging to cite sources during an oral presentation, but you must! Your options are:
Watch the video below for ideas on how to give verbal citations in your presentation.
