HELP WITH DEVISING YOUR CLASS PERFORMANCE
3 examples of performances from the same performance focus
In 2021, due to the COVID situation, we filmed class performances for "Ill Met By Moonlight" #CSFDream, which means that we're able to share some different examples of class performances with you. The three pieces below were all devised to the same performance focus brief, but add you can see they each look and feel very different as each class and their teachers responded to the story.
*Thanks to the staff and pupils at St Matthew's CE Primary School (Stretford), Cavendish Close Junior Academy (Derby) and Christ Church CE Primary School (Eccles) for giving their permission for us to share their work with you and to City Projections, who created the films.
What was the performance focus?
The three performances were devised in response to A Midsummer Night's Dream. They were all based on the same performance focus document. All three had the focus area of 'Puck' (they were challenged for telling the story of the mischievous hob-goblin character who is the servant of king of the fairies Oberon, and causes mayhem by enchanting the various humans who are lost in the woods), meaning .
Each teacher received the following prompt and guidance:
Class Letter
Child-friendly version of the performance focus
Teacher Guidance
Suggestions, ideas and prompts to support devising given to the teacher-director
What did the classes create?
Here are the three, very different, performances:
