Hello girls,
I have added this weeks slides. I have also added a bit of information on the slides that we discussed. Could you please watch the video on the link provided as it will give you a lot of information for your research. Remember you must include a production that has used that staging. I would like to know what theatre company used it and what the production was. You need to show me that you have researched the performance.
Any problems, come and find me before the week is out!
Miss Gough

ReplyDeleteType of staging: Thrust staging
This type of staging does allow performers to break the fourth wall, but it is not recommended. Most of the time it is used to break the fourth wall, for example in the Globe Theatre, also known as the 'Shakespearean Theatre', the performers do break the fourth wall and always enter the play through the crowd to change the area of staging used.
The first Thrust staging to ever be built was the Greek Amphitheatre, and it was also the oldest form of performance space. In this type of staging, the performers need to project their voice more because it is an open-air space and sound can easily escape. In the Globe Theatre, there is no roof, so the performers need to project their voice, otherwise the audience will not be able to hear what they're saying. Furthermore, in the Globe Theatre the poorer people stood right in front of the performers, down stage, and they would normally stand in the mud when it rained. The richer people sat on the pew, and were protected from the rain and didn't have to stand in the slug and mud.
An example of the Thrust Theater in the past was the Greek Amphitheatre, the stage extends well beyond the proscenium arch.A positive factor of this type of staging is that it allows the audience to feel involved and included in the performance, it also allows an intimate atmosphere to be created.As the stage is in one direction, everything on stage will be seen at all times. Another example of the thrust theatre is the Globe theater, the Shakespearean set up helps break the fourth wall.
