The exercises you see these actors practicing are in preparation for performing The Storm, based loosely on Shakespeare’s The Tempest. McLean describes her role and responsibility as a director and trainer to help actors reinterpret their roles within the larger web of the play, tapping into their internal and natural “source” of rhythm and expression and bringing out their inner drive to enhance the impact of their individual and collective performance.InstructionsIn Chapter 8, you learned about The Art of Directing and the many skills a director needs to lead, inspire, collaborate, envision, and communicate the production concept to his teams of designers, actors, choreographers, music directors, and others. As you listen to Anna-Helena McLean (who in addition to being a director is also an actor and musician) explain her vision and role, focus on what you feel and how her approach to The Storm impacts you as an audience member.Focus on how McLean has reinterpreted Shakespeare’s The Tempest and why she has done so. Consider:setting of storyhistoric periodthemeuse of music, sounduse of gesture, movement, facial expressionstagingset designlightinglanguage and lyricsDraw upon all the things that you have learned so far about the art and process of play production and performance. Then answer the essay question below.Watch the clip of The Storm.Choose five of the elements from the bulleted list above that had the most impact on you as you watched. Then, compare and contrast each of those six elements between The Storm and Shakespeare’s original script for The Tempest. Select excerpts of the script and performances of The Tempest to compare and contrast with McLean’s approach that you find on YouTube.com and theatre sites on the internet. Read an interview about McLean, such as can be found on theatre sites like theatremix.com. Use specific examples from the clips and from your research to discuss how the elements you selected support the production concept and creative decisions made by the director. In conclusion, note whether you consider McLean to be an interpretive or creative director.Organize your essay by element so that you have five paragraphs, each one discussing one of the elements in the bullets above and comparing/contrasting it with the performance of The Tempest that you viewed. Be sure to provide links and footnotes for any reference material upon which you have based your research and analysis. Arts & Humanities Music DRA 111
