For this assignment, you are to see either a live performance or a recording of a live performance of some kind and consider the five following elements of theatre: Performers, Set, Lights, Costumes, and Sound. Examples of live performances include plays, music concerts, dance recitals, poetry slams, stand up comedy, etc. If you are uncertain about whether the performance you would like to write about qualifies, ask before committing to writing about it. (Please note that sports such as football and basketball are athletic competition, not performance, and thus do NOT count.)
Your critique should include a paragraph dedicated each of the theatre elements listed above. In each paragraph, be sure to state which element of theatre you are focusing on in that paragraph, give your opinion about whether or not the element was utilized effectively in your chosen show, and present at least one specific example from the performance that supports your opinion. The attached file is an example of a performance review that received a perfect grade.
