Lesson 14 Understand the role of a dramaturge Understand and be able to explain Act 2 Visualize a written scene Do not turn into this.
What is a Dramaturge? • R+J Packets; define dramaturge • A person within an acting company that is responsible for researching and developing the context of plays • Helps director make informed decisions by providing information related to the play • Goal is to help create a play that is accurate to the time period
Scenes 4, 5, 6 • Finish Scene 4—same parts! • Read scenes 5 & 6 • Reading Guide work time
Activity 4.15, Springboard p282 • Shakespeare does not write a scene for the wedding of Romeo and Juliet. Why does this wedding take place off-stage? • If the wedding were added to the action of the play, how would you show it in two different time periods? • Shakespeare’s? • Now?
In the charts provided, explain how each part of the wedding scene would look in each time frame • Costumes, music, staging— • And then what is your intended effect of each choice made? Why have the costumes the way you chose? • Deciding on the modern day setting will be easier—it’s what you know! • Hint: Look at the paintings used in the Glencoe text book as a guide!
Take it a step further…p284 • Now, on a separate sheet of paper, you are going to take on the role of either Romeo or Juliet • Based off of what you know of your character in Act 2, what would his or her wedding vows sound like in your made up scene? • Fold your paper in half; on one side, write the vows for Romeo, and the other the side write the vows for Juliet. You may write in modern language. • If you write in a poem format, you must write 16-20 lines. If you write in a paragraph format, you must write at least 2 paragraphs.
Causes and Consequences • Answer the three questions on page 284 about the application of “coming of age” • How does the concept of coming of age relate so far to Romeo? What about Juliet? • Does the emotional behavior of Romeo and Juliet have more to do with their age or love at first sight? Why do you say that? (back it up) • Why do the Friar and the Nurse, adults who care deeply about the young lovers, allow Romeo and Juliet to act so quickly?
