Guidance for theatre

Theatre within the MYP is a practical subject that develops students’ understanding of theatre as
an art form, as well as giving students the opportunity to function as artists themselves. It
encourages the exploration of theatre and theatre practices from different times and cultures. It
develops students’ creative and theatre skills, enabling them to create, rehearse and perform
pieces of theatre. It develops students’ ability to reflect on, evaluate and critique their own work
and their development as young artists.

Objectives in a theatre course


Examples
These are examples only of the type of content, skills and processes that might be addressed
through the objectives.
What might students investigate in theatre?
Students might investigate an art movement(s) or genre(s) and specific artworks within their
contexts, including:
 theatre traditions and theatre practices in their contexts
 the practices, or approaches, and artworks of artists and theatre companies
 how subject-specific terminology aids communication about theatre
 methods of recording and communicating ideas about theatre and theatre-making (creating,
directing, designing, performing) in the arts process journal
 performance and production elements, and how they work together to communicate ideas
and feelings and impact an audience.
How might students develop their ideas through theatre and finalize an
artistic intention?
Students might:
 experiment with different theatre processes, styles and methods to explore and
communicate ideas
 experiment with design and production skills (use of space, costume, lighting, set and
sound)
 practically explore ideas, for example, through trying out theatre-specific skills (movement,
gesture, voice, expression, delivery)
 finalize an artistic intention in line with the statement of inquiry. (The artistic intention should
justify artistic choices, such as choice of techniques, style, interpretation.)
How might students create/perform theatre?

 rehearse and perform their own or an existing piece of theatre
 apply their theatre skills (as creators, directors, designers, performers)
