SECTION 3: PRODUCTION (cont’d)

Suggested Teaching and Learning Activities

To facilitate students’ attainment of the objectives of this Section, teachers/facilitators are
encouraged to engage students in the teaching and learning activities below.

1. Have students visit backstage theatre spaces; shadow a professional theatre production
rehearsal process.

2. Have students watch and critique productions – community plays, church plays, professional
theatre, recorded plays.

3. Engage students in imaginative writing exercises in character to another character.

4. Engage students in practice auditions for productions.

5. Have students interview (talk to) actors, musical directors, technical directors, designers and
producers, stage mangers and technicians about their roles.

6. Encourage students to engage in journaling to reflect on their experiences – photo journal,
record of theatre visits, interviews of individuals, filming of rehearsal process.

7. Record rehearsals for students’ viewing of their process.

A play may be one that is published or unpublished and does not have to include a cultural form.
However, the written text of that play MUST be presented to the external examiner. The production
MUST NOT be devised by the teacher or students. CXC® will accept that some teachers have written
plays. In that case the date that the script was written must clearly NOT be the dates in which students
were being entered for the examination. The purpose of the production is that students must be
involved in the analysis, interpretation and discussion of a written script and should NOT be involved
in any way with the creation of a script for examination.
