Students Process Their Performance

An important step in performing is to process afterwards. We always videotape the performance for this purpose. This recording is just for us to use in-class following the performance so students can see what the audience saw. We cannot make this recording available to the public (as in a money-maker) because some students do not have permission to be videotaped for public viewing.  But of course, the video is NEVER as good as the real thing!

So in addition to watching the video recording, students process their performance through writing and drawing a picture. It is always fascinating to me to see what students' ideas are of their performance. Students are generally very proud and say their parents were so excited to see them up there on the big stage...

This is a great idea and I love the video showing the process!

Thanks, Sandra! I have learned a lot seeing what students share about their performance experience.
