How do you want the audience to behave when you perform in front of the class? hcameronclarke https://padlet.com/hcameronclarke/TheatreEtiquette/wish/128307200 Id like them to follow the set out rules (phones off, no discussing when the performance is taking placing, arriving on time, fidgeting is kept to a minimum ect) so that nothing is delayed. I would also like it if the audience is engaged in the performance, and is paying attention to the main focus.]]> 2016-10-04 18:57:43 UTC https://padlet.com/hcameronclarke/TheatreEtiquette/wish/128307200 2. In your own words, describe good audience etiquette. hcameronclarke https://padlet.com/hcameronclarke/TheatreEtiquette/wish/128309354 -Not having phones out (no photography/light as it can distract the actors).
-Expecting the best from the actors, staff ect
-Staying engaged with whats going on onstage instead of phones/other distractions.
-Getting involved if the performance requires audience participation (pantomimes!)
-Noise of food packaging kept to an absolute minimum (distracting to actors and other audience members).
-Dispose of all packaging appropriately leaving less of a mess to tidy (front of house staff).
-Applauding/laughing at the appropriate times.]]> 2016-10-04 19:03:50 UTC https://padlet.com/hcameronclarke/TheatreEtiquette/wish/128309354 3. Describe two different types of performances in which audience etiquette may be different. hcameronclarke https://padlet.com/hcameronclarke/TheatreEtiquette/wish/128312270 PANTOMIMES!!
You're expected to get involved at the indicated times as it is family entertainment for everyone, its meant to be fun and exciting!

BROADWAY!!
Stay engaged with the plot/storyline. And as much as you want to sing along, its good manners not to unless you are prompted to. And with all theatre, try to enjoy it, you paid to see it, make it worthwhile!]]> 2016-10-04 19:12:32 UTC https://padlet.com/hcameronclarke/TheatreEtiquette/wish/128312270 4. What was the expected audience etiquette at the performance of ‘Things I know to be true’  hcameronclarke https://padlet.com/hcameronclarke/TheatreEtiquette/wish/128314851 -Required to follow all individual stories to understand the whole storyline.
-Laugh/applaud when appropriate.
-Phones off as photography wasnt allowed.
-Noise kept to a minimum as the actors didnt have mics.
-Expecting the best from the actors as they are professionals.]]> 2016-10-04 19:20:33 UTC https://padlet.com/hcameronclarke/TheatreEtiquette/wish/128314851 5. Did the audience meet these expectations in your opinion? Explain your answer.  hcameronclarke https://padlet.com/hcameronclarke/TheatreEtiquette/wish/128317959 The majority of the audience did follow these expectations.

However there were a few people with their phones out messaging people or taking pictures or just simply didnt have their phones on silent/off.

There were also a select few who talked during the performance or ate really loudly but quickly realised it was rude of them.

There were also a few who laughed at inappropriate times throughout the performance. Some of them may have been immature despite being told there was strong language involved.
