Theatre 101 Day 1 New

Welcome to theater.

101 with Mr Davis is theater 101 with Mr Davis.

What's up, y'all?

How y'all doing?

I'm so excited to see you guys.

We are back in action in a virtual world.

Hope you guys are excited.

My hair is crazy.

You know it's gonna change.

I miss you guys.

Uh, we did a lot of crazy work last year.

This year is gonna be a little different, but we're

going to kind of go over some of the same

things. But I'm gonna try and give you all a

new way of doing a lot of things we did

last year.

But it's just gonna be virtual.

So I'm excited.

We will be probably going back to school at some

point. Um, because they are talking about us going back.

Prezi, we'll have to have mask on.

But I'm excited to see you guys.

I'm excited to see and learn about you guys were

dropping up to, So let's jump right into it.

Um, every day this is the lecture video, and I

will be going over things.

This is what we'll start off after we watch the

attendants video.

So my top five zooms for my class.

Whenever we are in class, I want your mike to

be muted in your video on.

That allows me to see that you guys are engaged

on dhe.

That's how I know that you are present.

Um, if for some reason your video camera doesn't work,

you could go to the school.

They have laptops.

I'm actually using the school laptop right now on.

Do you could pick up a new laptop with a

nice camera that works, But for any reason, if you

don't have your camera on that day just privately messaged

me and let me know and just make sure that

you're engaged in the chat.

Make sure you are paying attention and you participate in

my class.

Does move pretty quick.

I try to make it fun.

You already know I still have contest.

I still have prizes.

I still have all those different things that we had

in the regular, um, classroom.

But now we're just doing it in a virtual way.

Make sure that use the questions on the chat.

My bad.

Make sure use the chat whenever you have any questions.

Um, make sure that when you ask the question.

It's on everyone and not just on direct message unless

it's person.

If it's personal, you can direct message me.

But if you're ever sharing anything or comment or you

have a question, try and put it in the chat

eso then I can see that I can observe, and

we can make sure that we have this engagement going

on. Um, if you do need to speak, make sure

you raise your hand and I will a mute you

unless we have it on a unusual situation.

If we can respect each other, I don't mind leaving

that option.

Open eso that you guys don't have to raise your

hand and we could just allow each other to speak.

But I just wanna make sure we don't speak over

each other and that we can actually engage in the

process of listening to each other because I do want

to hear from You guys want to hear you guys

opinion about the videos.

I'm showing you about the things you're watching, all those

different things.

Be respectful.

Have fun.

Don't talk about each other.

My class is not supposed to be hard.

I had a few people fail literally this past two

quarters because they didn't do any work.

You all know my classes.

Not hard.

I'm here to help you.

If you need any help, please reach out to me

on Dojo.

Message me in class and just be respectful of each

other to as we go along in this process on

to the next slide.

So the top five facts about me, you all should

know this, but I want to go over just so

y'all know.

So education wise, y'all know you're boy got your masters

of fine arts in theater.

You know, everything about me is drama.

Y'all, um we're supposed to do y'all short film last

year. But, you know, Kobe happened.

I still have, um, You guys is scripts.

I still have it in my house.

I'm actually Rochester, New York, right now, but I still

have your script, so we can always, um, still go

back to those When we do get back to school.

I still want to produce those, and we still got

time to do it, so don't worry.

But of course, my education master's fine arts and theater

got my bachelor's in theater, got my associates and communication.

So, you know, I'm all about performance, all about talking

all about engaging with you guys.

You all know my accent is still really I'm still

from the south, Um, born in Texas, Grew up in

Mississippi. All that fun stuff, you know, my hobbies are

drone flying.

I wanted to start a drone club, and I'm still

going to start a drone club whenever we get back

to school.

Um, so I'm excited about that favorite TV show I

did finally watching the rule.

I finished.

It was crazy.

We could talk about that later in the chat.

Don't worry.

We're gonna talk about all the anime I've been watching.

Seven deadly sins.

Japan sinks is another good one.

We could talk about some anime now, Like I'm actually

on my animate swag.

Um, favorite TV show.

Yeah, that's all time favorite food, Of course.

Pizza all day.

Y'all know how to go pizza party all day in

my house.

Um, I love pizza.

My favorite right now, and, yeah, top five facts about

me so moving along.

Um, so wait.

We get graded virtually.

Yes. You get a great in my class.

Like I said, I had a few people fail.

Um, try and make a good great.

I just released a prize package for some of my

sixth graders that had A and B's in my class,

and they could go pick up their package at the

school. So make sure that you all do good in

my class because I'm still reward y'all just like we

were in school.

But our homework is usually a Google form that you

fill out very easy.

I give us about two assignments a week, my classes

not hard.

The only people that fail are people who don't turn

on their cameras, don't participate and don't engage.

If you could participate and engage and talk to me

and talk to your fellow classmates, this class is gonna

be easy, fun and simple.

Um, sometimes we do a zoom poll.

Um, I use this thing called minty meter, and we

live go through the different questions and stuff.

Eso You'll see that you'll see that later today and

know what I'm talking about.

Zoom participation.

So classwork, um is that's how you get your classroom?

Great. Whenever you participate in class talking to each other,

talking to me asking questions, observing your fellow classmates.

Being respectful, I want us to feel like we can

talk to each other like this is all we have

right now.

So I really don't want to see people with a

blank screen.

Not ever talking.

Not ever say anything, not submitting assignments.

This class is easy.

This should be all easiest class.

It should be fun.

I don't mind even us playing among us if we

have time.

I know my other students like playing among us.

I enjoy that game, but we just gotta get through

our work.

Same way was in school, but now we actually can

engage with each other and play video games do all

kind of stuff, But we gotta do our work first.

I don't mind doing those different things going to the

next thing.

You're gonna upload a performance video that is your test

grades. So we still perform every Friday.

Except now you upload the video.

The good news is you don't have to perform it

live you recorded for me.

I grade it.

No one ever has to see it unless you want

to share with the class and then I'll give you

that time to share it with the class.

But for right now, um, we you are uploaded the

document and I'll show that to you later.

The Google form of what that looks like, how to

do it, bonus credit in context.

So I have ticktock challenges some people do participating in

some people.

Don't. The good news is y'all should really kill it

because the Ticktock challenge is the warm of we did

in class is you know, it's all those different things.

So look out for that video on tomorrow's class where

we'll talk about that, um, showcase of talent.

I will make edits like how I used to do

of the different talents submission that you guys give me,

and that will be like a little small snippet.

But again, it's just a snippet of what that is.

But I'm excited to see you guys.

I'm excited to see what you got going on.

I'm excited to hear from you guys, so make sure

you engage in the chat eso daily attendance break.

So this is how it goes down in my class

so daily with the attendance breaks, you get five minutes.

When my class first starts to go.

Grab some eat, go talk to each other in the

chat. I don't mind.

You can type it up.

Um, you can go use the bathroom.

Go do whatever you need to do before class starts.

After that, video will play just like this, where it's

a lecture video for about 15 minutes on dhe with

that lecture video.

That's what you'll learn for the day.

That will be what will put into practice later.

I'll be teach you some new theater technique.

Um, you guys should know most of the theater techniques

that I will be going over.

But that's how that ago, um then after that, you

have a class work resource video that is just literally

a video about 15 minutes long, showing an example off

what will be doing or after I shove the luxury.

It just puts it into practice.

So you're seeing a live example of what I mean

eso today.

I think you'll be watching one of my short films

that my kids did.

I think you guys should be pretty familiar with.

I think you all saw this one.

If not, watch it again, we'll have questions on it

later today.

Live applications.

So there will be a moment where I would ask

you guys to turn on your camera and we will

engage live.

That would be a time for us to talk to

each other.

That would be a time for us to ask questions.

That would be a time for us to see examples

of our other classmates and give feedback to each other

and observe.

And then after that, we'll have whatever time left will

dio transition with questions in any remaining things.

So a lot of advocation includes mentee meter, which is

that question quiz that I was telling you about where

we do it live.

And I ask questions and you guys gain points and

also get process for that, too.

Um, after two weeks, y'all name are going a roulette

wheel and then I can Amazon ship something to your

house. So yeah, my classes simple.

Y'all know what it is.

I'm excited to be back when you guys let's keep

it rolling.

So, um, everything will be located in the Google Classroom

folder. That's what G.

C. Stands for.

Theater one on one folder.

It should stay Quarter three.

I just uploaded the syllabus.

Please look at the syllabus.

Um, it will include the lecture and resource videos for

that day.

It will also include any homework assignments that I give

in directions for performance.

Um, and it may include, um, information about whatever theater

challenge contest that I have for that week.

If I do have one for that week, Eso Yeah,

that's mostly how my class goes.

So today, the first theater game we're gonna play it

is called just the name game.

Y'all noticed we did this every day in my class.

This should be easy and fun.

Instead, we're doing it over.

Zoom. This class will be so much more fine.

More fun.

Yes. It will be fine if you guys engage with

me. So the first game you're gonna tell your camera

like this and you can choose to sit down or

you can stand up.

I'm gonna give you two examples.

So you're gonna say your name, and then you're gonna

add a gesture or physical movement.

We've done this before, right?

We did this class all the time.

The quicker we do it, the quicker we can move

on. Right.

Um, sometimes we won't have enough time to let everybody

do it.

I would just ask more minimum off five volunteers to

go through.

So someone show examples and then as people start doing

it, give constructive feedback.

So it's not to talk about anybody's to former to

say that being bad or you don't understand it, but

just pick up on it.

So we're not trying to repeat, It's not call.

A response is literally just that person introducing themselves and

doing a gesture.

So, you know, I used to always say, Mr Davis,

and that was my gesture, right?

So if you do that or if you're standing up

you go, Mr Davis.

Right. So whatever you wanna do, name and gesture, that

is the game.

Um cool.

So, yeah, that's my class.

Um, so this week, I do want to talk about

a real quick and hit on it.

I will be posting all of this this power point,

this lecture, the resource video after this and the assignment

assignments are due Sundays at midnight of that week.

We have about eight weeks ish of assignment, so just

turning it on on time.

I'm usually posted at the beginning of the week.

The assignment for this week.

Um, it's kind of like what we did last year

with slating our name and getting on stage and introducing

ourselves. So tomorrow I will give you an example, but

I can kind of do one.

Now, I think I have a few more time.

A little bit of time on my video.

So basically, you will say your name.

Um, you will, slate, so you'll stand up.

Or if you're not, stand up to sit down.

And you were like, Hi, my name is Conrad Davis.

Thank you for subscribing to my channel.

My channel is called Peter Pan right at Peter Pan.

I talk about peanut butter in all the different uses

of peanut butter.

And then for that week, I would show a different

use of the peanut butter.

So I give you an example.

I probably upload one or do one, um, tomorrow.

But basically, I'm gonna show you how to start creating

content for your channel.

You guys are getting older.

Some of you already doing it naturally, using roadblocks, doing

fortnight, making all kinds of videos.

But what I'm looking for in that video it's for

you to slate.

Your name project?

Can we understand?

You come up with a screen name or topic and

you can get creative.

You can add on little pictures and icons don't add

a filter.

I don't need to see bunny ears or nothing, but

I would like for you to create a channel, whether

it's YouTube or instagram or a tick tock.

And then I want you to introduce yourself like you're

introducing yourself to your audience.

So if if this is my YouTube channel, I want

to make a video our press record on my computer,

you can record from your computer, and I would just

be like, Hi, my name is Karen and Davis.

Thank you for subscribing to my channel, um, Peter Pan

at Peter Pan.

We show you all the different uses of peanut butter,

and for the first example today I'm about to show

you how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

And then I would show my audience how to make

a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

So it's kind of like the talent showcase, except you're

actually doing it in a virtual setting and you're showing

us how to do something and That's how you're going

to track your audience.

So my goal is for us to make videos that

are surrounded by this virtual experience and how to have

a virtual social media presence.

So, like I said, I'm excited to work with you

guys. Can't wait to see you guys.

And this is theater one on one with your boy

Mr Davis Base.
