Download or read book Activated Script Analysis written by Elizabeth Brendel Horn and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-02 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Activated Script Analysis engages theatre students in traditional formative script analysis through a fusion of devised theatre and various modes of creative expression, dispelling the notion of script analysis as an isolated pen-to-paper task and reimagining it as a captivating and collaborative process. This book uses diverse, contemporary plays to model the script analysis process for each of four Theatrical Elements: Given Circumstances; Character; Setting; and Structure. By considering each of these elements, readers can uncover patterns and themes within a dramatic text. Woven throughout the study of each theatrical element are "Connections": Personal Connections, which encourage readers to explore a theatrical element within their own lives, as though their lives were a script; Play Connections, which make abstract ideas presented in script analysis concrete through theatre-based play; Professional Connections, which examine how a theatre professional might analyze a script within their own work; and Performative Connections, which provide the opportunity for students to explore a theatrical element through performance using devised theatre strategies. At the end of each chapter, readers are given the opportunity to analyze a text through the lens of a Theatrical Element and to express their findings through a variety of digital, written, visual, and performance-based modes of expression. Activated Script Analysis is designed for undergraduate theatre students and educators, to be used as the primary text in Script Analysis coursework or as a supplemental text in Acting or Directing courses. The book includes access to downloadable templates and example videos, available at www.routledge.com/9781032125398.

Download or read book Script Analysis for Theatre written by Robert Knopf and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-02-09 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Script Analysis for Theatre: Tools for Interpretation, Collaboration and Production provides theatre students and emerging theatre artists with the tools, skills and a shared language to analyze play scripts, communicate about them, and collaborate with others on stage productions. Based largely on concepts derived from Stanislavski's system of acting and method acting, the book focuses on action - what characters do to each other in specific circumstances, times, and places - as the engine of every play. From this foundation, readers will learn to distinguish the big picture of a script, dissect and 'score' smaller units and moment-to-moment action, and create individualized blueprints from which to collaborate on shaping the action in production from their perspectives as actors, directors, and designers. Script Analysis for Theatre offers a practical approach to script analysis for theatre production and is grounded in case studies of a range of the most studied plays, including Sophocles' Oedipus the King, Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, Henrik Ibsen's Hedda Gabler, Georg Büchner's Woyzeck, Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest, Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire, and Paula Vogel's How I Learned to Drive, among others. Readers will develop the real-life skills professional theatre artists use to design, rehearse, and produce plays.

Download or read book Page and Stage written by Stanley Vincent Longman and published by Addison-Wesley Longman. This book was released on 2004 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Page and Stage narrows the gulf between printed page and performance to make script analysis for production or academic study more effective, efficient, and insightful. This text discusses a method for script analysis based on the idea that plays consist of "organized tension" that involves the audience and organizes their response. It examines the many forms of tension in plays--between actor and character, between the stage and the world of the play, between the present and the past, and between characters--by looking at stage space and time and a wide range of plays from Greek times to the present. Page and Stage addresses the paradox that play scripts are not complete works of dramatic art, and yet contain implicitly, if not explicitly, the intended performance.
Download or read book Crime Script Analysis written by Harald Haelterman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book positions script analysis as a useful and pragmatic tool, which can guide the selection and implementation of preventive measures in business environments. It illustrates how the concept aligns with the crime-specific orientation found in environmental criminology, and particularly explores the theoretical foundations of situational crime prevention, the approach to which it is deemed most relevant and supportive.div divThe volume provides clear guidance on how to apply script analysis in daily practice, covering its main building blocks and key features. These are illustrated by a series of case studies into various crime types. Moving beyond the use of script analysis with the intent to disrupt the crime-commission process, the author further explores the wider benefits of the approach to both academics and practitioners. He identifies what is needed most if we want to embrace the full potential of script analysis for preventive purposes. “/div>

Download or read book Script Analysis Workbook written by D. Ostrowski and published by . This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 20 years ago I landed (what I then assumed to be) the role of my life. I was entirely unprepared on the inside and cocky and proud on the outside too afraid to share any fear or insecurities. When I opened my script and read it a few times (like "they" say we should) I realized I was out of my depth and likely to fail. I was just a rooky after all with little more than a handful of acting classes under my belt. So...I did a very smart thing...I turned to a friend who had just finished her Associates degree in Theater Arts and she game me the most important tidbit of knowledge I've learned to date. Do a script analysis! Do an in-depth character analysis! Take your scenes apart step by step and do a scene analysis. WHAT? I had no clue what that was or how it could help me so I was off to the library. The library wasn't any help at all so off to the bookstore! At the bookstore I found a dusty old ignored paperback giving minimal instruction and a bunch of nonsense that would do little to help me...and I couldn't write in it! What good is a script analysis that I could not take notes in! So I found myself a niche and decided to perfect my version of a script analysis that helped me not only land roles in the future. It helped me to be a better actor with a deeper knowledge and understanding of not only the role I landed but also the storyline in general. I've since given up acting and the spotlight for the director's chair and a family but anytime I have a budding actress that is struggling with her or his role I give her one of these books....they always thank me. I think you will too.
