Portfolio
You can base your portfolio on either a folk story, legend or fairy tale. It should have a story (the narrative or plot), characters (the roles played by actors) and meaning (theme or ‘content’). Consider how you would like to see your production of this story onstage and compile your portfolio with the following:
- Draw, paint or collect some images that show the different settings or scenery. Show how these ‘scenes’ might appear with different lighting, with different atmospheres, in daylight or at midnight etc.
- Make lists of any furniture and props that the scenes might need. Draw, copy or cut out images of the most important props or special machinery and special effects. You may want to make all the costumes or design the sets or props.
- Consider all the characters in the story and select some of the most important ones. Make some notes about their main qualities, age, ambitions, etc. Draw, collect photographs, cut out magazines of what you think the characters will look like. You may want to cast some of these roles with actors you know.
- You are also required to include a video recording to explain your portfolio e.g. What is the story about? What ‘message’ might the story contain? What you would like to convey to the audience? The video recording should include a self-introduction that articulates a vision of your future career and the aspects of theatre production that you are interested to pursue.
You are required to upload your portfolio online.
