Theatre+Production+11&12



**THEATRE PRODUCTION 11 and 12** are for any students who have an interest in hands-on work backstage in theatre production. There is no audition for these after-school classes, but students must make a commitment to being involved in the Night Owl Theatre Company – as such, teacher permission is required. The Theatre Production class, together with the Performance Ensemble class, combine to create the KSS Night Owl Theatre Company. Through participation in theatre productions in a variety of settings and with a variety of responsibilities, students increase their knowledge and develop skills in all phases of theatre. The work of the course provides a foundation in design, technical theatre and theatre management. Students may specialize in either technical theatre or in theatre management at the grade 12 level of Theatre Production. Technical theatre will focus on the techniques and skills needed for design, lighting, sound, costumes and props. Theatre management will focus on the leadership roles in such areas as stage management, house management, technical direction and production management. Theatre Production course information: Fall Semester Rehearsal Schedule: will be posted soon.

Play it safe
 //Play it Safe//, commissioned jointly by the Vancouver School Board (VSB) and Actsafe, was authored by Janet Sellery, an award-winning health and safety consultant specializing in the performing arts. While the guide was written for a BC audience, many of the resources address common hazards found in many school theatre and studio environments. The comprehensive safety guide is a seven-part online manual that includes best practice instructional materials, student handouts, hazard and safety assessment forms, an educators’ guide, checklists and resources specific to school theatre environments.
