By - Mary Roadruck
Primary Subject - Language Arts - Drama Secondary Subject - Other
Grade Level - 2nd and 3rd year drama students

NC Competency Goal 6: The learner will compare and integrate art forms by analyzing traditional theatre, dance, music, visual arts, and new art forms.

Observe and reflect: The learner will attend a live performance of The National Theatre of the Deaf (tours Asheville in February) and will analyze (in written form submitted to teacher) the following elements in the presentation of a play produced by a profession theatre company.

Traditional Theatre: Analyze the play's structure, then analyze the ability of the hearing impaired troupe to communicate the story to a hearing audience through sign language and music.
    How was music incorporated?
    What creative resource was used to bring the story to life for a hearing audience?
    What elements of the "traditional theatre" are used to create a unique art form?
Dance and Stage Movement: Analyze how the cast utilized dance and movement to display their intent in the story.

Visual Arts: What choices did the director make to in-corporate non-traditional visual effects to promote meaning for the hearing audience?

New Art Form: After experiencing this live performance, what do you perceive as a creative incentive for producing and touring a unique form within the traditional art of the theatre?
