Jaira Miles 9B

1. I learned that One-Act play focused more on conveying the piece or story based on their facial expressions, the tone of their voices, gestures, and more. It has a similarity with chamber theatre, but one-act play only has one situation that is performed. For the audience to better understand the plot and details of the story in each scene.

2. One interesting thing that I find from one-act plays is the actors. Given the limited time for their performances on stage, actors can still manage to deliver their lines thoroughly, letting the flow of the plot and the message successfully reach to the audience with their talents.

3. One Question: Can one-act plays have musical themes?

3 Things I Learned from the One-Act Play:

- The One-Act Play started in the medieval period and was a way to entertain people. Most of the theme used were about morality.

- Fewer actors are used in a One-Act Play compared to chamber theater. This avoids crowding the stage and helps the audience pay attention to important parts of the story.

2 Things I Found Interesting:

3 Thing I Learned:

-A one-act play is a bit similar to a Chamber Theatre Performance. It utilizes only a few props and characters and is performed in a black box or a closed space.

-It started during the medieval times.

-The one-act play was known for its brevity, simpleness, and focus for a specific act/scene.

2 Things I find interesting:

-I find it interesting that they were able to preserve one-act play to this day despite the many years since it was first performed. What's more, it was also able to influence other countries to try it.

-Since most one-act plays focus only on one scene and is performed in a closed space, it even makes it more impressive, leaving great impact to the audience.

1 Question I have:

-Musical theatres, chamber performances, speech choirs, and a lot more other plays were developed to entertain or educate their audience. Why did the people who started one-act plays think that a one-act performance would be even more effective, considering that it focuses only one scene/act?

3 - Three things I gained knowledge of from the lesson was that one: one-act plays focus more on emotions and how the actors play their characters, two: like chamber theatre, this type of play is very simplistic. And lastly: the different characteristics of a one-act play, like how it only has a limited amount of characters and that it only focuses on a singular theme.

2 - The two things I find interesting are the limited amount of characters, as well as how the whole play only has one theme. How one-act plays manage to capture the attention of the audience, considering it's more simplistic, truly amazes me.

3 - I learned about the definition of one-act plays, more specifically: I learned that it is a play typically held in only one place, has a single main theme, and most of the time, there are limited actors in order for the play to be more effective while their motion on set is usually minimal as well.

2 - I find it interesting how in just one setting and little time, the script given to the actors is intended to convey deep emotions, much like the usual plays that lasts more than one-act plays. I also find it interesting how it dates back to the medieval period and made its way to modern times--not just that but even as much as being included in some schools' curriculum.

# data[].attributes.body
John Florence Defensor 9B

3 - The one-act play discussion taught me that it was characterized by simplicity, similar to chamber theater, but when performed, the duration was shorter than the full-play length. Furthermore, one-act plays consist of a single setting and a small cast of characters, and the actor or actress wouldn't really move that much from their place.

2 - I find one-act plays interesting because they convey the character in the story, depict the emotions, thoughts, and challenges or obstacles that the character confronts, similar to other acting plays.
