We will be using the standardized school grading system:
Practice 40%--Graded activities to teach curriculum standards during the learning process.
Class Work—40% To earn full points, student must be an active and appropriate participant in all class activities, which means listening quietly to instructions, rehearsing the entirety of a given rehearsal time, volunteering during improv games, and being engaged at all times.
Performance 60%--Student’s demonstration of mastery of curriculum standards
This will then be further broken down into:
Written Work—20% Includes critiques, reflections, blocking diagrams and the like as well as quizzes and the rare written homework.
Stage Performances—20%
Audience Grade--20% It is essential that students learn, and demonstrate, appropriate etiquette as respectful and attentive audience members during performances.
*Please note: you will need to memorize for this class and you will need to get on stage, both by yourself and as a part of a group. Refusing to memorize and/or perform GREATLY limits your chance of success.
