Theatre & Audience - P.E.E

The P.E.E Technique:

- Point
- Evidence
- Explain

Homework/Task:

P. Twitter - Social Media can be used to engage an audience in an non theatre setting.

E. "Theatre is not dependant on the location" (Weaver 2009:2)

E. Marcus Lilley's way of performing to an audience is by inviting them to join him on social media sites, or to be contactable through email or text messaging. His work appeals to the younger generation who are in-touch and up to date with technology which makes his performance, no matter where the location is wether it be outside in the park or indoors in an old building more interesting and mysterious as the audience are kept on their toes instead of sitting and watching actors perform.   


This is what I found off of BBC Bitesize: It might help:

Stanley and his parents had tried to pretend that he was just going away to camp for a while, just like rich kids do. When Stanley was younger he used to play with stuffed animals, and pretend the animals were at camp. Camp Fun and Games he called it. Sometimes he'd have them play soccer with a marble. Other times they'd run an obstacle course, or go bungee jumping off a table, tied to broken rubber bands. Now Stanley tried to pretend he was going to Camp Fun and Games. Maybe he'd make some friends, he thought. At least he'd get to swim in the lake.

'Holes' - Louis Sachar

Point:

1. Stanley is a lonely boy.
2. He is willing to make the best of a bad situation.

Evidence:

1. The writer suggests that Stanley spent long periods, when younger, playing alone with stuffed toys.
2. Stanley thinks that he will have the chance to make friends and 'at least he'd get to swim in the lake'.

Explanation:

1. The writer lists the sort of games Stanley played with his stuffed toys at 'Camp Fun and Games' in a way that suggests he was playing on his own - the toys became his friends.
2. He is going to a boy's prison work camp, but, instead of thinking about the horrors he might face, he shows that he is hopeful and ready to make the best of things.

I would love to go through this technique in my tutorial to get a better understanding so I can put it into practice.
