Notes:Time and placeJust make a couple of brief notes on your worksheet about the place and time of your drama if you have not already covered this in your outline. If you don't know the calendar date, you can always put something likeThe day before our first trip to Maine. Put things on the stage, but no people yetThe main thing to do here is to physically set up some props on the stage. This means place objects on the desk or table next to you that you are using for the stage. These objects represent the actual background things in your drama, like the main room objects or cars or trees or buildings or whatever is needed. Don't put any people on the stage yet, just things.Arrange the propsArrange the props, the elements, such that when you place the character representing you it will be at the front of the stage facing in to the action, so that you will be looking at the things on the stage placed similarly to the real thing.Just set the stage roughlyWe're just sort of "setting the stage" here. You can always add things later if you need to. Don't spend too much time on this step, but put at least one object there! If needed, add a label to it, just so it's clear. Use a bit of paper or card and an elastic band or sticky tape so it won't come off. Something simple like "Jo's car" or "house" or "Jane's bike" — don't write a story about it. |
