Dunfermline High School Drama Department Unit 3- Fairytales

Lessons 1&2

TASK In your books, write down what you think a fairytale is. Make a list of all the titles of fairytales you know. Here are some examples to get you started: -Sleeping Beauty -Cinderella -Rumplestiltskin

Stereotypes The dictionary definition of a stereotype is: “A Conventional, formulaic, and oversimplified conception, opinion or image; one that is regarded as embodying or conforming to a set image or type.” In Fairytales, there are several stereotypical characters which we, as the audience, recognise.

TASK: Please complete the following table with stereotypical characters that you know. There are a couple of examples to help you: Stereotypical Characters Princess/Heroine Handsome Prince / Hero Villain Step-Mother Helper Mother / Father Examples from Fairytales Snow White Aladdin The Wolf from Little Red Riding Hood Cinderella’s Step Mother Fairy Godmother Geppetto – Pinocchio’s father

Task As a Class you will discuss how some of these stereotypes are shown in terms of performance? Remember to think about: Voice Movement Costume Make Up Props Lighting Set Sound / Music Special Effects

Task Using your knowledge of stereotypes in fairytales you should now, in pairs, improvise a scene where two stereotyped fairytale characters meet. This should last 2 minutes long. Think about: Who are the characters i.e. Little Red Riding Hood and The evil Step Mother from Cinderella. (Think Shrek!) Where do they meet i.e. the local supermarket, the bus stop, the prison? How do they act? i.e. how do they move? How do they speak? How do they react to each other? How does your drama begin and end, and what happens in the middle? This will be presented to the rest of your class who will evaluate your performance and try to guess who you are!

Lessons 3&4

Target Audience Eastenders Teletubbies High School Musical Hollyoaks Crimewatch Fairytales TASK Who are the target audience for each of the following?

Fairytales Fairytales don’t always have to follow traditional storylines. Fairytales are a good stimulus to create your own versions of these well known stories !

Look at the following alternative fairytale titles: ‘When Jack sued Jill’ ‘Little Red Riding Hoodie’ ‘Sleep-in Beauty’ ‘The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Bailiff’ ‘Goldielocks and her 3 ASBOs’ As a class think about: How do these stories differ from the original? Has the target audience changed? Why/Why not?

Form A Form of Drama is the overall style of a drama. So far, you have used the forms of a scripted and an improvised drama. Please see the list below for all forms of Drama: a play, scripted or improvised dance drama mime monologue movement musical pantomime comedy tragedy docu-drama forum theatre A ‘chat show’ can be another from of drama.

TASK In groups of 5 create a chat show (like Jeremy Kyle) where a fairytale character has been brought on to discuss their story with other characters from that story i.e. Goldilocks’ Mum has brought her daughter on because she can’t stand her constant breaking and entering, 3 bears tell their side of the story before Goldilocks comes on. You will then present your work to an audience.

Homework Complete a self evaluation for your performance of the chat show in your jotter. Each point should be half a page long. You should write two stars (things you did well) and one wish (something you could do to improve in future).

Lesson 5

Main TASK In groups of 5, you will create a drama which is based on a fairytale and is suitable for target audience of your age group. This drama should last 5 – 10mins long and should include every member of your group equally. You should think about: What fairytale are you going to choose? Where and when your drama is set? What characters are involved? How you will make the story relevant to the target audience i.e. how do you change the fairytale to make it relevant for a modern audience? What message are you trying to get across? How many scenes will you have? What is the structure of your story? i.e. do you follow the normal fairytale layout? Your final performance will include theatre arts which you will have had to rehearse before you present to an audience. Your performance will be assessed.

Lesson 6

Characterisation TASK In your groups you should Hot- seat each character. (Remember, hot-seating is answering questions in role!)

Characterisation TASK In your jotters you should fill in in the following information for your character, creating a character card. FULL NAME AGE OCCUPATION WHERE DOES YOUR CHARACTER COME FROM?
