 What I Need to Know

In performing arts, a performance generally comprises an event in

which a performer, or group of performers, presents one or more works of
art to an audience. A performance is typically described as a “play”.

Mounting an original stage performance entails a complex

collaborative process involving an entire team of artists and technicians
behind the scenes, supporting the actors who are visible on stage. For an
original stage performance with media, the production can become even
more exciting and entertaining as the various media-based arts are used to
enhance the stage design, costumes, makeup, lighting, sound, special
effects, and the like.

 What Is It
As mentioned in the previous lesson, theatre is an art form that brings
together an entire range of art forms along with their corresponding
elements and principles.
Read and study the table below about the elements and principles of
arts. Analyze how it is applied to the enhancement of performance as well as
to the entire stage production.
Roles in a Stage Production
Basic Roles that Most Plays Require
PRODUCER The person who takes the play from a mere concept
to an actual presentation. He or she chooses all the
team members and assigns them their functions,
and oversees the casting of the actors and
actresses for the different roles.
DIRECTOR The overall artistic coordinator of the entire
production is the director. Like a conductor of an
orchestra, he or she has a vision of the desired
total effect and impact of the performance.
PLAYWRIGHT For a script intended for stage performance, the
writer of the script is more specifically called a
playwright. The initial concept or plot may be
original, and then developed into a play script or it
may be based on existing story or another play
which the playwright will then adapt to present in a
new way.
SET DESIGNER The concept and creation of the physical stage is
the task of the set designer. He or she builds the
set (or sets) that will simulate the world that the
play’s characters are supposed to live in.
LIGHTING DESIGNER Coordinating closely with the set designer is the
lighting designer. Lighting is critical in designing
the mood of each scene in the play, highlighting a
dramatic moment, signalling the entrance of the
character, focusing attention on a specific spot on
stage, or even providing the blanket of darkness for
set and prop changes.
COSTUME DESIGNER The actors and actresses must look believable in
their roles and much of this is owed to the costume
designer. He or she studies the general setting
(time and place) that the play is meant to take
place in, as well as each character in the script.
SOUND DESIGNER Similar to the lighting designer, the sound designer
serves a vital role in creating and enhancing the
atmosphere of the performance.

7
PRODUCTION Coordinating all the complex behind-the-scene
MANAGER details of staging a play is the production manager.

TECHNICAL DIRECTOR The technical director shadows the play’s director

throughout the entire production process.
CHOREOGRAPHER The choreographer is included in the production
team. He/she not only plans out all the dance
steps to suit the music, but also rehearses the
actors until they are able to perform the dance
skilfully-while remaining “in character” on stage.
MAKEUP DESIGNER As the costume designer deliberates on the
characters main attire, the makeup designer is
brought in to plan the hairstyles and makeup to
complement the costumes.

Elements of Art as Applied to an Original Performance

Sound and Music Incorporating sound recording and editing
techniques available for desktop or laptop
computers, tablets, and android phones
Gesture, Movement, and Incorporating appropriate dance styles and
Dance techniques
Costume, Mask, Makeup, Incorporating art techniques such as painting,
and Accessories paper maché, assemblage, simple sculpture and
industrial design
Spectacle Creating a striking, even awe-inspiring effect on
stage through the use of lighting, sound, music,
costumes, dance, and special effects

Principles of Art as Applied to an Original Performance

Rhythm It is a continuance, a flow, or a feeling of movement achieved by the
repetition of regulated visual information.
Balance It is a feeling of equality in weight, attention, or attraction of the
various visual elements within the pictorial field as a means of
accomplishing organic unity.
Emphasis It is the principle of visual organization that suggests that certain
elements should assume more importance than others in the same
composition.
Harmony It is the visually satisfying effect of combining similar, related
elements.
Proportion It is the comparison of dimensions or distribution of forms.
Movement It is a the path our eyes follow when we look at a work of art, and it is
generally very important to keep a viewer’s eyes engaged in the work.

Unity It is the feeling of harmony between all parts of the work of art, which
creates a sense of completeness.
Variety It is the use of several elements of design to hold the viewer’s attention
and to guide the viewer’s eye through and around the work of art.

8
 What’s More
In the performing arts, choreography applies to human movements
and forms.

Choreography is the art of creating a dance routine by grouping together

and organizing different dance movements into sequences and patterns that
can be done to a specific song, beat, or, melody.

Directions: Suppose the music is “You Raise Me Up” by Josh Groban. You
choreograph the song by performing movements and gestures that
meaningfully interpret the lyrics. Capture your movements, print and paste
inside the box provided. Refer to the example given in the first box.
(Example)1ST gesture 2ND gesture

(You raise me up so I can stand on (When I am down and all my souls
