I put this short booklet together a few years ago to help pupils understand some of the key ideas in the design process.
In terms of the Drama work we do, pupils spend a lot of time devising, rehearsing and performing – but they have always been expected to add to their performances by using any or all of these where appropriate:
- LIGHTING
- SOUND
- PROPS
- COSTUME
- MAKE-UP
- SET
This booklet tries to squeeze in as many terms as possible, but as ever isn’t exhaustive or definitive.
I’m currently passing it to my S3 students (age 14/15) who will be going on to study Drama at National 5 level here in Scotland.
The booklet is downloadable as a pdf file or as individual jpeg files.
