Question of the Day

Here is the question to answer today:
What are some key differences and similarities between live performances and movies? Because of this, which kind of performance do you like better?

Welcome!

Hello! My name is Amanda Borglund, and this is a blog for my students to talk and collaborate with other students about theater technology. On this blog, students will compare and contrast theater technology with movie technology, by reading Hamlet and watching the Kenneth Branaugh's version of Hamlet. The standard we will be addressing is
Analyze the representation of a subject or a key scene in two different artistic mediums, including what is emphasized or absent in each treatment

We will also be answering some unit questions:
What are the key differences and similarities between Shakespeare's Hamlet and Kenneth Branaugh's Hamlet?
 Does theatrical technology coincide with movie technology?
