Description: Activated Script Analysis engages theatre students in traditional formative script analysis through a fusion of devised theatre and various modes of creative expression dispelling the notion of script analysis as an isolated pen - to - paper task and reimagining it as a captivating and collaborative process. This book uses diverse contemporary plays to model the script analysis process for each of four Theatrical Elements: Given Circumstances; Character; Setting; and Structure. By considering each of these elements readers can uncover patterns and themes within a dramatic text. Woven throughout the study of each theatrical element are " Connections": Personal Connections which encourage readers to explore a theatrical element within their own lives as though their lives were a script; Play Connections which make abstract ideas presented in script analysis concrete through theatre - based play; Professional Connections which examine how a theatre professional might analyze a script within their own work; and Performative Connections which provide the opportunity for students to explore a theatrical element through performance using devised theatre strategies. At the end of each chapter readers are given the opportunity to analyze a text through the lens of a Theatrical Element and to express their findings through a variety of digital written visual and performance - based modes of expression. Activated Script Analysis is designed for undergraduate theatre students and educators to be used as the primary text in Script Analysis coursework or as a supplemental text in Acting or Directing courses. The book includes access to downloadable templates and example videos available at www. routledge. com/9781032125398.
