FINAL PRODUCTION SELECTION

1)My research question is: What was the Beijing Opera? (How did it work? What time period did it flourish in? What is a brief history of-? Effects? etc,...)

2)I would like my project to be kind of a Diorama of a basic theater and actors; also, what it's like back stage with a brief lecture to explain about my topic and list some facts.-I am also considering doing drawings of close ups on actors and the like.

3)I like the idea of this form because without a visual, I feel that people wont quite grasp the main idea of this form of theater. Chinese Opera itself is in it's self a visual performance. I feel I can do it the best justice by doing a detailed visual of such.

4)I' hoping the finished project will provide both a good visual and a short-sweet-and-to-the-point kind of lecture that will entail good, yet still easy to follow information over my topic.

5)I feel that the finished project will display mastery by showing that I understand the meaning and having a good feel for what Chinese Opera is; And, what it's all about. My project should also show that I understand the CORRECT setup of the show and all the meanings and ways that make Chinese Opera what it is.

6)Agenda:
1. I will search for information, sort it all out(making sense of it all-if you will) and finding all that I will put into my "lecture".
2.After that, I want to have all my info written down SOMEHOW, so I have something to look at while explaining my topic.
3.THE DIORAMA! I can only hope to the be able to find a detailed, yet accurate set up to how the plays are set up and a glimpse or to as to what's backstage.
4.Putting it all together....Enough said.
5. The finishing touches....

7)????

ALL OF THE INFORMATION ABOVE(hopefully wont have to be completely set in stone) MAY NOT STAY THE SAME AS I PROGRESS THROUGH THIS "ENDEAVOR".
