Sound in Theatre Plays Activities 3

Listen to the different types of music and brainstorm what scene they suggest you. There are no correct or incorrect answers here.

These are different types of activities that you can perform. Your teacher will help you decide which one is the most suitable for you.

A) You can see Mérida Roman Theatre in one of the photos. There is a theatre festival there every year. Check the Internet to find where there are theatre festivals and also check the culture activities to see if you can attend a play (you can have a look at the council culture page or this page. Gather all the information in a podcast. You can use your mobiles phones to record the sound and Audacity or BandLab to paste the different parts. Remember tips for recording sound.

B) There are some dates all through the school year to celebrate: Rosalia's Day, World Poetry Day, Book Week, and  there are even other activities such as writing horror stories in November or short stories contests that usually take place at school. We can create melodies or use the free ones on the internet to combine with the texts or poems to be read. Here you have some links to books that you can surely find in your school library: link 1, link2, link 3, link 4 .  You can also check the result of mixing stories and music in this book.

You can use this online software to merge different sound files: media.io. You can get music from Mutopia or FreePD.

C) Of course, if we have talked about theatre in this unit, let's see if it is possible to organise a theatre play with the rest of departments in the school. Technology and Arts could help with the scenery. Language departments can help with the organization of the script, Physical Education department could help organizing some dancing inside the play and music department can handle all the different types of music a play needs. Here you have some links to check before starting: link 1, link 2, link 3. Don't forget to read the drama rubric to check what it is expected from you.

All the activities can be recorded and uploaded to the class blog: Weebly or Wix are options to create blogs.
