PLAN OF ACTION: the action plan

In IBTA Y2, the student is challenged with a series of INTENSE assessments, stretching both their creative and intellectual beings, as well as their ability to use the force (HAHA just kidding). This is my plan of attack for this year.

TPPP
an approx. thirty minute speech about the growth of the artist 
For the TPPP the artist is required to come up with a symbol that represents their growth and development in the course. My symbol could be one of two options: the horizon or a detour sign. I chose the horizon to represent how this past year has been about lateral movement for me, expanding my perspective around me in various theatre forms rather than honing in on one field (ie musical theatre). I could use the detour sign to illustrate how how I had a singular dream of musical theatre but through a detour i was able to discover other forms so that I might achieve that singular dream in an even fuller way.
Potential images to use in my presentation:
- Mark Hill
- Stone Girls Dreaming
- Andong
- Our Town
- Random Acts
- Tadashi Suzuki



IPP
an independent endeavor to devise theatre
My independent project will be to act as a student director for the Key Stage 3 Show. The show is in the winter, and I'm working on workshops and researching right now.

RI
a research paper that explores a unique theatre form and applies it to a text
 My research investigation paper will apply the ideas of Latin American Theatre to a western play, preferably Shakespeare, or another traditional play. It would explore how I would as a director devise a brand new performance of a classic play in the Latin American tradition.
