Explorative strategies

Explorative strategies

Explorative strategies are used in drama to enhance a scene. They are usually studied whilst completing a drama GCSE or A level.

What are they?

These strategies consist of:

*Thought Tracking - Whilst in role, the character speaks out to the audience about what that character is thinking, feeling, doing etc.
*Still Image - Also known as a "freeze frame" or "tableau" or "snapshot", this is when all the characters on stage stop still. Can be used if a narrator wishes to speak to the audience whilst something is happening on stage.
*Hot Seating - A character is interrogated by the audience. Normally used as an "in class" activity, this allows the audience to find things out about a character, and requires the actor playing the character to think about what he/she is doing, feeling, etc.
*Cross Cutting - When time in a scene changes to show what happens before or after a scene.
*Narrating - A character, normally called the "Narrator", will speak out to the audience about what is going on in the plot. They have been around for nearly as long as theatre has.
*Marking the moment - A crowd of people studenly pause and someone uses that pause to say their thoughts.
