How to use them

  1. Display the stage positions poster in the studio so pupils learn the terms by seeing them every lesson.
  2. Use the audience poster before a performance to set expectations.
  3. Hand the techniques poster to groups as a menu: ask them to try two techniques in their next scene.
  4. Use the vocal and physical skills poster for peer feedback, asking pupils to name one skill they saw.
  5. Print A3 for the studio wall and A4 for pupil folders.

About these posters

Key Stage 1 has an actor's toolkit and a poster on being a good audience. Key Stage 2 has the steps for making a scene and a guide to techniques such as freeze frame, hot-seating and thought-tracking. Key Stages 3 and 4 have stage positions and movement, and a poster on vocal and physical skills. Each one is an information poster written in our own words. Download A4 or A3 PDFs and print for your studio, hall or classroom.

Questions

Is there a diagram of the stage?

No. The stage poster lists the positions in words, so it works in any space and prints clearly.

Which key stage is each poster for?

Each poster is labelled by band: KS1 for ages 5-7, KS2 for 7-11 and KS3-4 for 11-16.

Do they match a GCSE drama specification?

They use general drama vocabulary. Check your exam board's own terms for assessed work.

Are they free to print?

Yes, free for classroom and school use.
