A note from the author: 10 pages of 8 cards each, 80 cards in total. For hot seating rehearsal techniques in classes, and as part of production or exam rehearsals. There are two options of how to use these cards: Personally I like to laminate these cards on card (double-sided with the backs) and keep them in bundles 1x Pile of Beginner, 1x Pile of Intermediate, 1x Pile of Advanced. I ensure that I also use the back of the card templates to ensure that the cards work as a whole. You could print out a complete sheet and give one to each pupil. This way they have almost a scorecard to use when working on this technique, depending on the level that the actor wishes to try at. Overview of Resource: 30 x Beginner Cards (For use as a good warm up to hot-seating for all level actors, and for KS3 and lower level KS4 / GCSE) 30 x Intermediate Cards (For KS4 / GCSE above, and high level KS3) 20 x Advanced Cards (for KS5 / A Level, and high level KS4 / GCSE) Category: Rehearsal Techniques (Bundle) Stanislavski (Bundle) Included: 80 x Hot-Seating Cue Cards Please note: Purchasing this document allows you to amend and reproduce the cards in anyway that you wish.

A note from the author: This is one of my favourite plays. I studied it at KS5 and love exploring the complex themes and characters with my students. I have adapted and honed this SOW over the past two years, and it not only includes a detailed SOW, but also lots of handmade worksheets and other useful resources. The only other thing you will need are copies of the text itself! Enjoy… SOW Overview A scheme of work spread over 24 lessons focusing on an in-depth study of A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen. These resources not only cover analysis of the text, but also a practical exploration of how students can bring the text to life as an actor, director and designer. There are also Stanislavskian techniques used throughout the exploration to grasp the style of naturalism, and other practitioner’s methods are explored as well such as Cecily Berry, Jacques Lecoq. This scheme of work is primarily for A Level students but could work well with high ability GCSE students. Please do comment on my resources so that I can continue to update and expand them.

A note from the author: Included here are a selection of Contentless Scenes for use in lessons. Contentless Scenes (sometimes known as ‘Open’ or ‘Ambiguous’ scenes) are scenes that have very little detail on character or narrative plot leaving it open for the actors or directors to use their creativity and imagination to add detail to the scene with endless possibilities. I use these to explore: Character Creation Character Motivation Character Relationships Character Interactions Narrative Structures Subtext Themes & Issues Naturalistic Acting / Stanislavski They are so useful and I use them with each year for different reasons. I have written 35 scenes here that are all different and useful for a variety of reasons. I tend to photocopy them on different coloured pages and split them between different years so that as we use the scenes for different reasons as the students move up through the school they always have fresh stimuli. Included: 20 Duologue Contentless Scenes (ranging from half a page to a full page) 10 Quick-fire Contentless Scenes (suitable for 2 or three actors each) Four are very short (2/3 lines), 6 are longer (4/6 lines) 5 Contentless Scenes for Three Actors (full pages) It works out as less than 29p per scene!
