Impact of Performance How does the performance of dramatic literature impact its meaning?

Review of 1.1 What does this scene tell us about Shakespeare & people during the Elizabethan period? Other thoughts on events of 1.1? Why open this way (puns > dirty jokes > big fight > sad Romeo)?

Warm-Up: Predict In what ways do you think actors change the content of a play?

Romeo & Juliet Scenes SceneSummaryReflect – connect, respond, predict 1.1big fight; R & B talk; R in love with _?_ 1.2 Paris ask marry J, dad says ok if she loves u, R&B plan to crash party b/c Rosaline will be there Sunday

Comparative Performances Step 1: Decide roles & read through the scene. Step 2: On the ¼ sheet I gave you, answer these questions Your name: Character’s Name: In 2-5 words, describe the personality traits of your character that you will try to convey/exaggerate. What makes you think these words accurately describe your character? What does the character do or say in this scene that makes you think this.

Step 3: Reword, rearrange, cut parts, add parts, & shorten lines as you see fit in order to make it sound more “real” and in order to really emphasize the character’s personality. Try to cut it down to a total lines and keep the performance under 3 minutes. Step 4: Rehearse! Practice saying your lines with personality. Practice moving with your lines. Repeat. Step 5: Perform. PLEASE do not bore us You will be graded on your performance.

As each group performs, decide what dominant personality trait is being conveyed for each character. Character123 Juliet Nurse Lady Cap Peter Romeo Benvolio Mercutio Extra

Reflect 1.Did the characters’ personalities remain the same despite the actors? If so, why do you think it did? If not, why do you think it varied? 2.To what extent and/or in what ways did the actors’ performances affect the meaning of their words? Give me at least 1 example. 3.Overall, how does the performance of dramatic literature impact its meaning? 4.How should this knowledge shape the way we read dramatic literature? 5.How should it shape the way we read other types of literature?
