Performance Skills Puzzle
Ready for a puzzle about performance skills? Do you want to challenge your craft and shatter those creative blocks? Introducing the Performance Skills Mixer, an interactive tool designed for actors, drama students, and teachers alike. Whether you’re warming up for a rehearsal, searching for fresh inspiration, or leading a classroom exercise, this generator is built to spark your imagination.
Simply select a theatrical style—from the classical demands of Shakespeare to the chaotic energy of Absurdism—and instantly receive a unique performance prompt. You’ll get a character, a setting, and a situation, giving you everything you need to jump right in. Use the sliders to determine the exact level of focus, timing, energy, and actor-audience relationship required, then receive feedback tailored to the application of these performance skills within the context of each theatrical style.
This puzzle is also great for VCE Drama students, whose senior secondary course prescribes these four performance skills. You can also find other VCE Drama puzzles elsewhere on this website.
Switch between theatrical styles to see the differing demands on performance skills. Enjoy the puzzle!
