my Notes
Learning Targets
• Participate in a dress rehearsal of a dramatic scene.
• Reflect on strengths and challenges as a performer.
Dress Rehearsal
1. Participate in a dress rehearsal in which you perform your scene in front of another group. This rehearsal will help you determine what works well in your performance and what does not.
2. When you are in the role of a small group audience, use the Scoring Guide criteria to provide constructive feedback to enable the acting company to adjust its performance.
3. Consider using these questions to start your feedback conversation:
• What elements of humor do you think you were most successful at using? Least successful?
• Can you explain why you made the choice to ...
• When did you feel the audience was most with you?
• When did you feel the audience was least connected to your performance?
• Did you ever have to adapt or adjust differently than you had planned? Explain. How did it work out?
Dress Rehearsal Reflection
