EVALUATING THEATRE.pptxHigh-scoring responses (for section B) showed an excellent understanding of the written script by providing quotes from the dialogue or stage directions in the script of the selected play. They also described what occurred on stage at specific times during the performance and clearly explained how work within two production roles applied a chosen element of theatre composition to create a deliberate effect on the audience. For example, how sound design manipulated pace, timing and tempo to impact the rhythm of a performance and create a moment of tension for the audience. Students are urged to memorise specific examples of dialogue or stage directions to demonstrate their working knowledge of the written script.
