Feedback

Students are given oral peer and teacher feedback. The teacher will also provide written feedback for each student in the group.

Comments inform them about such things as their ability to:

research a chosen issue and present it as street/protest theatre
use the dramatic techniques and theatrical conventions of street theatre to create an intended meaning for an audience
use acting and performance techniques appropriate to the dramatic form of street theatre and the relationship developed between each performer and the audience
select and use an appropriate performance space, production elements and technologies to communicate a dramatic intention about their protest to the audience.

Self-reflection

Students will be required to write a reflection in their workbook which evaluates their process and performance during the Activity.

Future directions

The completion of the Activity should provide students with the knowledge, skills and motivation to move forward confidently to research, devise and develop their own piece of street theatre, which involves a protest in an outdoor space to an intended audience at the end of the unit.
