DP Theatre - Solo Theatre Pieces

The Solo Theatre Piece is the culminating assessment of the HL DP Theatre course. Students are required to choose an established Theatre Theorist to study before focussing in on a particular aspect of their work and then extrapolating that theoretical and practical research into a 4-8 minute solo performance. Each of the four students below chose a different theorist to study and the four pieces are all very different in context and tone.

Theorist - Josef Kantor

Julius chose to present Kantor's theories through a reworking of a speech from Shakespeare's "Richard III" . Richard's self-confidence is portrayed as losing the battle to his self-doubt as he is haunted by those he has killed.
