Preparing students for the Theatre Experience

As you know, Theatre is not Cinema. Theatre means there are live actors on stage and it is very much dependent on a good actor-audience relationship. Many of your students may never have been to the theatre and therefore, we would ask that you assist with the following:

• Create a context for the performance by either accessing the script, Education Resources, having students conduct research, or by discussing the play and its style and content in class
• Prepare your students for a live show by discussing the nature of theatre and the importance of their role in the actor-audience relationship
• Alert students to the fact that the actors can see and hear the audience from the stage.
• Discuss with your students the importance of needing to be aware of others and the need to respectful of live performance.

In particular we ask that teachers assist with and ensure that students are aware of and adhere to the following:
• Mobile phones must be switched off completely while in the theatre
• Food or drink is not permitted in the theatre
• Portable CD players, MP3s and I-Pods are not permitted in the theatre
• Large school bags and backpacks need to be left in the Malthouse Cloakroom

We also ask that teachers please sit amongst their students in order to assist with supervision.
