Product: When you factor in weight, how does it change your mime?
Bell Work: Draw and label the following in bird's eye view: Grand Drape, Wings, Legs, Backstage, Stage, Apron, & Proscenium Line
Class Activities
When the bell work was completed, students were introduced to the five different types of stages.
The audience is on one side in a proscenium stage. This is the kind of stage we have at Reagan Middle School. You might have seen this stage used for concerts and award shows.
The audience is on all sides of an arena stage. The arena stage is also known as "Theatre-in-the-Round." You might have seen this kind of stage used for basketball games, football games, the Colosseum in Rome, and boxing matches.
The audience is on three sides of a thrust stage. A thrust stage is similar to a proscenium stage except that the apron has "thrust" into the audience. You might have seen this stage at a concert or during a runway show.
Transverse Stage
The audience is on two sides of a transverse stage. This stage is sometimes referred to as a "tennis court stage," because of the way that it is configured.
A flexible stage is any stage that is not a proscenium, arena, thrust, or transverse stage. The audience and stage can be separate or intermingle throughout the performance. The above is only one example of a flexible stage.
Afterwards, the students focused on their mime skills by participating in either charades, "What Are You Doing?," or The Changeable Ball.
