Thanks for making this video:) I'm in Theater Corps Club and I showed this to a couple of my friends and they loved it, we were learning Stage Terminology. David Graham is right you are an excellent educator, Miss Price! Thank You! :D
I'm an bio chemical engineering student that enjoys stage, and found this very informative. I enjoy theater and wanted to understand the terms so I can proficiently describe some of the things that occur in theaters, musical, and my very favorite, Opera. You are an excellent educator, Miss Price!
@@kathylam1746 Well, I hope the video was at least helpful. I made it for my own students a decade ago, but it looks like a lot of people are using it. Did you find it helpful in understanding? What is your project?
Thanks Krista this was so great! I learned a lot, even though I have been going to Broadway Shows for over 30 years. My wife and I go to NY for a week every Christmas season, we both love Broadway shows. My wife just enjoys the shows. I love looking to see the stage set up, lights and sound. I have produced my own comedy specials at the Roxy on Sunset, The Hollywood Palladium and the El Portal Theatre in North Hollywood. I think I enjoyed the production process more than performing, from renting the theatre to final curtain. I haven't produced any theatre yet, but finding your channel is inspiring me. I will watch and support your channel. My first Broadway Show was in 1983, "Blood Brothers" with the Cassidy brothers and Petula Clark.
I don't know how I didn't see your comment before now. (Sorry!) Thanks so much for your support and for sharing a little about yourself and your endeavors. (By the way, I LOVE Blood Brothers - I would really enjoy directing that show at some point.) Feel free to stay in touch. :)
Can you help me pls? How do we call the part of the theatre where all the lights, battens and drapes hang from? * Barbecue Grid Hanger Fly If we say OFF STAGE, were should the actor/s be? * - What is a CATWALK? * - If the actor/s see the audience the audience CAN'T see them. * True False Which are the names for the different types of audience sitting in a proscenium theatre? * - Where are we when we say STAGE LEFT? * - If we say UPSTAGE, what part of the stage are we talking about? * - Describe your scene with stage directions. Think of how it starts and everything that is in it (props, scenery, etc). You can also describe other parts of the scene (middle and/or end). *
I could certainly help you with all that, but it appears to me like you're being asked by a teacher or professor to learn these things for yourself? The answers to all of these questions are in my series of videos, if you'd like to learn. If you have a specific question or clarification, I'm happy to help you with that...But copying and pasting an assessment is not what I'm here for; the information you're copying/pasting is probably stuff you need to know later for your class, so you'll probably need to find a way to do your job as a student, and learn it.
Your short videos are great to show for reinforcement of my teaching in theatre classes! Thank you for making AND SHARING! Are you in Rockford, Illinois?
Ok Broadway experts- correct my assumption here. Some theaters are so old that they have no booth, as shown positioned in this video. I have been in older theaters and I've seen the massive control boards (with all kinds of fancy monitors, buttons, etc) located in what would be the back orchestra rows. Am I right, is this the "booth" in old theaters? Or are there just multiple control booths ?
Some have sound or light boards at the back of the house rather than in a separate "booth" as pictured in the video. For our shows, we actually move the sound board INTO the house instead of using our booth so the board ops can better hear what the audience is hearing (sometimes it's hard to hear "true" sound from a separate booth). But yes, there are both types in theaters.
@@kristadawnprice Lately we've been running both sound and lights from an iPad, from anywhere in the facility. Little story: I have a friend who used to work on a cruise ship. One day I was chatting with him in his office (in the Midwestern states), and he was doing this and that on an iPad on his desk, listening to something on an Airpod in one ear. I asked what he was doing, he told me he was running lights for a production on a ship in the Bahamas!!! Blew my mind.
@@Bumblebone My last theatre did the same. However, during a full production (play or musical) typically there is a board operator in a booth taking cues from the stage manager.
If you’re trying to make it easy, you lost. 😉 Kidding. But it takes practice to really get used to everything. I used to direct shows at a high school for many years and at the same time I directed shows for a local community theatre and youth theatre. When directing you don’t have time to go over all of these things with kids. So I taught a series of classes about stuff like this and ended up doing several more because of the amount of students wanting to learn it. We played games that involved theatre terms and and even tick-tac-toe with stage directions.
I, too, have directed theatre for 24 years, and have also directed at one of the biggest community theatre in the country. However, these videos are not for my casts - they are for my classroom students. In length alone, they're not really appropriate for educating casts, so I definitely wouldn't recommend using them for that. (I do all of my "cast learning" in the context of the show, and also in person.) In the classroom, however, I teach and review the information in a myriad of ways beyond these teaching videos - including games, scene prompts using stage directions, etc. Mostly I use the videos to be sure that absent classroom students have access to all the information learned and practiced in class, and ALL learners have a review of information at their fingertips throughout the semester if needed. :) Thanks for reaching out! Best of luck.
Sorry to hear that. I'm actually a NO homework teacher (and have been for more than a decade). If you feel my videos are causing your teacher to give you more homework, that bums me out, BUT if my videos provide you with the information that you would have had to formerly read, then hopefully the video is more helpful to you than other ways of learning content. Best of luck to you!
We have to watch this for school today
same
Great video for beginner theatre students at all levels, used it to introduce my beginning drama students in high school.
