March 12, 2018 - March 16, 2018 Weekly Agenda for Theatre Arts

Monday, March 12th: 
Standard: 
Development of character and understanding of the scene.
Targeted Objective: 
Students will enhance their understanding of the character through the creation of the character's back story. Students will also understand the structure of plot - exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution.
Agenda: 
1. Students will perform their original, self-created back story of their character; this is called the "Inciting Event" which precipitates the scene in the play. The audience will provide constructive critical feedback on the student's creation of a precipitating event in the life of the character.
2. The students will then watch a rehearsal of a scene. By watching the rehearsal of the scene, the actors will learn stage conventions such as blocking, stage movement, vocal projection, character objectives, and how movement reveals intentions and unconscious desires.
Reflection: 
How has the event affected my character and precipitated the events in the story?
Homework: 
Learn your lines and continue working on your "Who, What, Where, When, How" Journals

The following groups will perform their "Inciting Event" on Monday and Tuesday:
Emily, Alice, Tyler - No Exit
Katherine and Ivonne - "The Hereafter"

Analysis of No Exit; how the characters died

Inez prefers to choose her own Hell, to look Garcin in the face and fight it out with him. Garcin announces that they should tell the truth about their lives: Maybe this will save them from disaster. Garcin mistreated his wife and eventually slept with another woman in his own house. Inez was living with her cousin, who was married to Florence. When the man got on their nerves, the women moved out and lived together. He was killed, and in despair, Florence turned the gas oven on one night, killing both Inez and herself. Inez had made Florence see things through her eyes, and this bitterness was too much for her. Hence, the suicide/murder; Inez is in Hell for her cruelty. Estelle had an affair with a man and became pregnant; she went to Switzerland for five months and gave birth to a daughter. Her lover, Roger, wanted the child, but Estelle didn't, so she drowned the child; later, she died of pneumonia. Roger shot himself in the head.

Garcin wonders if Estelle thinks that he was a coward for being a pacifist during the war. He wonders if he fled ("bolted" toward Mexico) because he was against war or because he was afraid. He decided, after he was caught, that his death would finally settle the matter, but then he admits that he faced even that moment rather badly. Again, Garcin hears his former colleagues at the newspaper talking about him: Even "the others" from his lifetime are a torture to him, and he cannot intervene in their conversations to defend himself. Additionally, he is not comforted by the idea that these men will eventually die because other men will replace them and perpetuate the belief that Garcin was a coward. His fate is in their hands. Can Estelle love him? Estelle says that she can love him, but only for his body: He has a manly chin, mouth, voice, and head of hair. He does not look like a coward. This overjoys him, and he prepares to leave Hell with her until they hear a shrill laugh: It is Inez, who prevents them from escaping. Garcin tries to leave through the door: He is ready to put up with red-hot tongs and molten lead — whatever torture "they" wish to subject him to, but he must leave this agony of mind. The door opens, and he is surprised; in fact, he is so stunned that he decides not to pass through it. Estelle tries pushing Inez through the door so she can have Garcin to herself, but he tells her to desist, that it's because of Inez that he is staying in the room. This catches Inez off-guard; he says that Inez knows what it's like to be a coward. He no longer hears the voices of people on earth, and he realizes that Inez is the same kind of person as he: It is she whom he must convince that he is not a coward. Estelle does not count: She is interested only in exterior appearances. He says to Inez: "If you'll have faith in me I'm saved." He spent his life trying to be a man, and Inez suggests that it was only a dream. He retorts that he made his choice deliberately, and that a man is what he wills himself to be. Inez enjoys her status as Garcin's torturer, and she taunts him with her evaluation of him as a coward.
