Write up a complete script analysis of Quiara Alegria Hudes' Water by the Spoonful, using the tools you've learned throughout the semester. I've provided a detailed prompt below, but you can reference

Each analysis tool is meant to represent one of the theatre artists we will talk about over the course of the semester. (And you’ve already done some work on the first part.) The Basics ● There are 5 parts to this. ● Each part is worth 5 points - 25 points overall. ● Your submission for each part should be about 1 ½ pages. ● There is a 6th part that you can swap out with 1 of the 5. ● You can also complete the 6th part for bonus points (no more than 2½). ● I prefer that you complete this as a written assignment, BUT I’m open to you recording this as a presentation with slides. Part 1: PLAYWRIGHT ANALYSIS (Dramatic Structure) ● Articulate and identify the Exposition , Dramatic Question , Inciting Incident , Climax , and Resolution/Denouement for the play. ● Explain the reasons behind your Dramatic Question, as well as the reasons for choosing your Inciting Incident and Climax. ● Include at least 3 facts EACH for the Exposition and Resolution/Denouement. Part 2: ACTOR ANALYSIS (Given Circumstances) ● Choose 2 characters from the play. 1 of them MUST be your Protagonist. ● Identify the following for EACH character you’ve chosen: ○ Each character’s 3 most significant Given Circumstances ○ Each character’s main Objective ○ Each character’s main Obstacle ○ Each character’s Character Arc ● Explain your reasons for choosing your Objective and Obstacle. ● Support your Character Arc with specific details from the play. Part 3: DIRECTOR ANALYSIS (Casting) ● Use the same 2 characters you chose for Part 2. ● Decide which celebrity actors you would cast in those roles. ● Support and defend your casting choices with specific factual details from the play and evidence from the actors’ past performances on stage or screen. Part 4: DRAMATURG ANALYSIS (Research) ● Identify 2 subjects, topics, events, or issues you would research and include in an Actor Packet for this play, EXCLUDING research about the playwright’s life, interviews with the playwright, or reviews of past productions. ● Choose 1 of the 2 subjects you’ve identified, and do a small amount of research on that subject. Include 2 or 3 fun facts or intriguing details that would be useful to someone working on a production of this play. And cite your sources! Part 5: DESIGNER ANALYSIS (Imagery) ● Decide whether you want to focus on Scenery, Costumes, or Sound. ○ For SCENERY, find 3 inspirational images that would influence your scenic design. ○ For COSTUMES, find 3 images to represent your costume design of 1 character. ○ For SOUND, find 3 songs or audio tracks that you would include in the soundscape. ● None of your chosen images or audio tracks should come from previous productions of the play. (I’ll know if they are.) ● Explain EACH of your images or audio tracks in 1-2 sentences. Optional Part: MARKETING ANALYSIS (Poster) ● You may replace any of the previous 5 parts with this part if you so choose OR you can complete this part for bonus points. ● Design a poster to advertise a production of the play. The poster should include a striking central image that captures the spirit of the play without revealing too much about the plot. ● More details will be provided in the assignment instructions.
