 It has been six months since our country battled against Covid-19. I bet you
missed your everyday normal activities. Some of these activities include going to
school, listening to your teachers, and sharing stories with your friends and
classmates.

Task 1: WHERE WILL I SIT?

Imagine yourself having the chance to go to school again. You see your
classmates and friends. You talk and laugh together. Then your English teacher
enters the room and she/he is ready to teach you the day’s lesson. Where will
you sit? Why would you choose to sit there?
.
B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson (Paghahabi sa layunin ng aralin)
.
The place where your teacher presents the lesson is similar to a stage. There,
your teacher is the presenter and you are his/her audience.

Have you ever experienced watching a drama, not on television but on a stage?

C. Presenting examples/instances of the new lesson

It is somewhat confusing when giving the differences between drama and

theater. In general terms drama often refers to the written, intellectual and/or
emotional context of a situation which is intended for an audience. Theater refers
to the overall spectacle of the drama, that being a drama is staged, showcased
and performed.

Drama derives from the Greek word ‘Drao’ which means action or to do. Drama
seeks to provide a writer a link to his or her audience whereby their works read,
interacted with an interpreted. Drama can refer not only to the written word, but
also interpretive modes, such as mime, dramatic dance where dancers have a
narrative to follow, but also singing such as Opera, Ballet and Musical Theater.

Theater in its rudimentary term means the physical building, stage or the house
of performance or even a place for the spectacle to take place. It is where the
action of a dramatic written or otherwise concept is realized.

 Day 2

Types of Stages

The following are the common types of stages.

Illustration
1. Proscenium stage:
A proscenium it can be said that
it’s a “window” that frames the
play taking place on the stage.
This type of stage, gives
everyone in the audience a good
view because the performers
need only focus on one direction
rather than continually moving
around the stage to give a good
view from all sides.

2. Thrust theatre stage:

A thrust theatre stage is known
by its arrangement which
consists of being surrounded by
audience on three sides. The
Fourth side serves as the
background.
Often the playing area is of
square or rectangular shape,
usually raised and surrounded
by raked seating.Such stages
are often used to increase
intimacy between actors and the
audience.

3
 3. Arena Theatre
An Arena stage is characterized
by a central stage surrounded by
audience on all sides. The stage
area is also often raised to
improve sightlines.

4. Flexible Stage:
Sometimes called a “Black Box”
theatre, these are often big
empty boxes painted black
inside. Stage and seating not
fixed. Instead, each can be
altered to suit the needs of the
play or the whim of the director.

D.Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #1

FAMILIARIZING WITH STAGE DIRECTIONS

Stage directions are instructions in the script of a play that tell actors how to enter,
where to stand, when to move, and so on. Stage directions can also include instructions
about lighting, scenery, and sound effects, but their main purpose is to guide actors
through their movements onstage.

Study the stage layout below. Directions are indicated based on the actor‘s
perspective.
 In a play, stage directions are instructions from the playwright to the actors
and stage crew. Though usually placed in brackets within scripts, they are
not spoken. Stage directions relate the author's intentions for actors'
entrances, exits, movement, intonation and essential behaviors. In
addition, they provide guidance for the crew regarding their
responsibilities, including what the lighting should be and any sounds,
such as music that must be added.

 Stage directions sometimes provide information about what is happening

on stage in the background, away from the main action. They also indicate
the mood and environment envisioned by the playwright.

 Stage directions often tell actors how they should speak, and these are
indicated at the beginning of lines.

4
  An important aspect of stage directions tells the actors their locations on
stage.

Study the stage layout on the next page. If you are the actor, can you easily tell the
locations of your co-actors if you are in the upstage left location?

 Day 3

Play is a literary form of writing for theatre, which narrates a story with elements of
conflicts, tensions, and actions through dialogues of characters. For dramatic
significance, it is divided into acts and scenes. The writers present their feelings,
emotions, and ideas through their characters and make them speak.

There are many types of plays such as,

Tragedy: These types of plays end on a tragic note and most likely a character’s death.
Comedy: These types of plays are meant to amuse the audience, and they end on a
happy note.
Domestic Play: These types of plays are based on the normal life of family and friends.
Tragicomedy: It is a fictional work comprises of both tragedy as well as comedy.
Melodrama: This type of has often exaggerated characters and episodes with songs
and music for an emotive appeal to the audiences.

A play has certain features such as,

Plot: It refers to the order of the events that occur in the play.
Characters: The characters form a crucial part of the story and are interwoven with the
plot of the play.
Dialogue: It refers to the conversation or interactions between the characters in the
play.
Setting: It refers to the time and place where a story is set. It is one of the important
parts of the play.
Conflict: It refers to the challenge main characters need to solve to achieve their goals.

5
 Resolution: It is the unfolding or the solution to a complex issue in a story.

A synopsis is a brief summary that gives audiences an idea of what a composition is

about. It provides an overview of the storyline or main points and other defining factors
of the work, which may include style, genre, persons or characters of note, setting, and
so on.

One of the earliest dramas presented in a theater is the fabulous work of Shakespeare;
“Romeo and Juliet”. Below is its synopsis.

Romeo and Juliet

An age-old vendetta between two powerful families erupts into bloodshed. A group of masked
Montagues risk further conflict by gate crashing a Capulet party. A young lovesick Romeo
Montague falls instantly in love with Juliet Capulet, who is due to marry her father’s choice, the
County Paris. With the help of Juliet’s nurse, the women arrange for the couple to marry the next
day, but Romeo’s attempt to halt a street fight leads to the death of Juliet’s own cousin, Tybalt, for
which Romeo is banished. In a desperate attempt to be reunited with Romeo, Juliet follows the
Friar’s plot and fakes her own death. The message fails to reach Romeo, and believing Juliet
dead, he takes his life in her tomb. Juliet wakes to find Romeo’s corpse beside her and kills
herself. The grieving family agree to end their feud.
