Building Blocks
Drama is all about starting at the bottom and working up to the top…
A Full performance
A Freeze Frame
Thought Tracking
A Rolling Tableaux
A Still Image
An Idea

4. An Idea !!!
You will always have a starting point… This is usually given by your teacher or director…
‘GCSE’s’
It is then your responsibility, as a group, to decide what you want to show.
Think about: Choices/ temptation/ revision/
Do you have to be you?

5. Still Image!!!
A Still Image is like a photograph that you create with the people in your group. A starting point for your idea.

6. Rolling Tableaux!!!
A Rolling Tableaux is 3 photographs that you create with the people in your group. That shows three stages of your idea.
On School Bus: Playing basket ball: Making new friends:

7. Thought Tracking!!!
Thought Tracking is when you are in a still image or rolling tableaux and each performer says one line of what they are thinking at that moment in time.
“I’m so scared that I won’t make any friends”
“I really want to say hello to that girl, but I’m worried she won’t like me”

8. Freeze Frame!!!
A Freeze Frame is when you act something out and then you freeze for 5 seconds and then you continue.
You bringing your rolling tableaux to life and connecting them together to make a story. There can be time differences in-between them. You do not have to add in thought tracking.

9. There are three processes we focus on when looking at characterisation.
Voice
Face
Movement

10. Voice
Pace… How fast or slow do you say some of the words? Pitch… Who is saying it? deep voice? Power…Do you shout the words? Do you whisper them? Pressure…What words do you emphasise? Pause… When do you pause?

11. Face
Facial expressions…

12. Movement
Gesture: wave, beckon, shake hands. Levels: up high shows power, bent down shows weakness. Space: Far away from each other creates tension.
