Contexting Art in its Culture The teacher is explaining why a particular musical was not successful in contemporary society. It was received poorly, he explained, and closed after the first night. Making Connections What makes a work of art successful? Where do artists get their ideas? |

Communicating with the Body Here theatre students are speaking and listening with their bodies nonverbally. They are exploring how "talking" with their shoulders, backs, hips, legs, etc. delivers more information to the viewer. The voice is only part of an actors' resource of communication. Making Connections All people have to talk with their voices and their bodies. Much of what is said in these two different modes is unconscious. Teachers can effect a conscious attention to developing these skills so that communication is enhanced in real-life situations such as: interviews, auditions, public speaking, leading a meeting, and giving a presentation. Communicating thoughts, ideas, and feelings is important for successful interactions between people. Watch the people around you and decide what you think they are saying both verbally and nonverbally. Are these messages the same? |
