But it is perfect for any Dance/Drama/Performing Arts student looking at theatre practitioners, specifically Lin Manuel Miranda.</p> <p>This 49 slide PowerPoint covers background on Lin Manuel Miranda including social, political and historical context, his influences, inspiration; a timeline of ‘Hamilton’ from its inception to its opening night on Broadway and subsequent productions. It includes many embedded videos of Miranda in a variety of interviews. With specific focus on the stage versions of ‘Hamilton’ and ‘In the Heights’ with many embedded vidoes of footage from both shows.</p> <p>The presentation looks at the theme of unity throughout both musicals looking at:</p> <ul> <li>Diversity in casting</li> <li>Blend of musical styles</li> <li>Themes of immigration</li> <li>Political unity and discord</li> <li>Music and lyrics</li> <li>Choreography</li> <li>Lighting design</li> <li>Set design</li> <li>Direction</li> <li>Costume design</li> </ul> <p>With a critical insight into the roles women play in ‘Hamilton’ from an article from The Feminist Spectator.</p> <p>The PowerPoint also has a deconstruction of the lyrics in the opening number from Hamilton, ‘Alexander Hamilton’ looking at how the presence of assonance in the lyrics unites the characters in their narration of the opening number of ‘Hamilton’.</p>

<p>This is a 12 lesson Drama scheme of work on theatrical techniques including freeze frame / still image, spoken thoughts / thought tracking, narration, flashback, mime / movement and choral speech culminating in an assessment.</p> <p>Each technique has a lesson purpose, success criteria, starter quesitons and prompts to aid, stretch and challenge students’ knowledge and understanding. Each lesson’s structure is predominantly the same: opening slide with the technique in with introductory, starter quesitons, a brief video modelling the technique, the purpose of the lesson slide with success critiera and finally a end of lesson performance slide.</p> <p>Videos are embedded throughout to act as modelled examples and to inspire and engage students. As we can’t always take them to the theatre, little bits of theatre can be brought to them! Each video relates to the lesson’s technique.</p> <p>Each lesson has a prescribed technique with a prescribed setting. Group sizes, characters and story are ultimately up to the students with obvious guidance from ourselves!</p> <p>This scheme of work is geared towards devising and being able to devise effectively using a variety of techniques.</p> <p>A year 8 scheme of work is also available revisiting some techniques found in this SoW and introducing some new ones also.</p>

The presentation gives examples of different set designs: naturalistic and non-naturalistic; what a raked stage is and directions on stage (stage left, stage right, up stage, down stage etc.) with photos and pictures to support.</p>
