Luis Valdez – Teatro Campesino & Las Dos Caras del Patroncito and Zoot Suit:
You will analyze the Theatre artist, Luis Valdez, from the perspective of a drama critic (remember the distinction between drama critic and theatre reviewer). Why should Valdez be considered an important artist – director, playwright, filmmaker?
Write a 300 word (minimum) review of Luis Valdez: Aesthetics of El Teatro Campesino, a live speaking engagement that Valdez gave last year on our campus. Additionally, you will be able to read the script for his acto, Las Dos Caras del Patroncito and Zoot Suit, and research his career. A video may be viewed of the acto as well, available on Canvas. I also want you to view the film Zoot Suit, written and directed by Valdez. It is available for rent on Amazon Prime and possibly You Tube as well.
CONTENT:
Discuss how Luis Valdez uses the art of Theatre and Film for social change and justice.
What makes the acto, LAS DOS CARAS DEL PATRONCITO, of Teatro Campesino, and the film ZOOT SUIT, humorous and entertaining, as well as educational, historical, and political?
In his talk at CSUN, Luis Valdez describes many cultural influences and traditions from the Mayas, Aztecs, and Mexico, that inform his aesthetic ideas in his new book, Theatre of the Sphere. What do you think Valdez means by the “vibrant being”?
How are we part of a “wave principle” in the movement of human history?
How is Luis Valdez hopeful in these violent times that we are living?

For this assignment, you must critique a LIVE THEATRE performance – you may opt

For this assignment, you must critique a LIVE THEATRE performance – you may opt to view a RECORDING of a live production but you may not see a movie adaptation. This live, theatrical performance must be scriipted (no improv) and must have designers. You may not see a high school production. There are a lot of things on YouTube, but many are not professional productions. Please check in with me if you have questions about what an acceptable production is or if you would like to confirm that the production you choose works for this paper.
All papers must:
be typewritten using a standard 12 pt. font (Times New Roman or Arial) or 11pt Calibri
be double spaced
be 3-4 pages
have correct spelling/grammar/sentence mechanics
be in standard essay format (not merely a list with numbered bullet points)
have a citation (including a url if watched online) for the production you watched
over every main area below (use the questions to help you organize your thoughts if necessary)
Reminder: Give clear, specific examples to support your opinions and point of view. When you state an opinion, give supporting details: “for example…” Paint a vivid picture for the reader.
Introduction: Start with something snappy to hook the reader in. Then summarize the play’s story in a short paragraph (this will not be the main point of the paper, I’m far more interested in your critique of the performance not the summary of the play): _____________________ by __________________________ is about______________. Tell something about the history of the play text and the playwright, or about past productions.
Thesis of paper: Summarize your overall impression of production: _________Theatre’s production is/isn’t worth seeing because _______
Critique the cast members as an ensemble: In general, could you see and hear the actors? Did the actors work as a team to tell the story? Were the actors, in general, believable, focused, in character, and engaging? Give examples.
Choose one main actor to critique: Did this actor engage you for the entire play? How? Was the actor focused, in the moment, and emotionally inside the character? Technically, did this actor move and speak well? Seem confident of his/her lines? Vigorously drive the play forward or drag it down? Did the actor make you care about, or be interested in, the character? Give examples.
Critique the spectacle and technical aspects of the production: Describe stage configuration used. How effective was it? Critique the physical set, lights, costumes, sound (music, sound effects, etc.), props, and any special effects. Did all these areas together help or hinder the dramatic action of the characters? Give examples.
Analyze and discuss the historical elements of this play. What era did it take place in? What era was it written in? Was it updated or translated to fit into a different era? If the play is modern, do you see any connections in themes or ideas to another era? Cite all outside sources.
Discuss the theatre’s goal in producing the play. What type of audience did the producers of the play have in mind for this play? Do you feel that you were their ideal audience? How do you think that you match or differ from the company’s perceived audience? Where do you think this production would be the most successful
Conclusion: Restate your thesis in different words: Summarize why this particular production is/isn’t worth seeing. Was it powerful? Moving? Gripping? Stupid and pointless? Long and boring? Educational? Disturbing? Entertaining?

After reading the presentations, (The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde) I would like for you to write a short essay.
Choose one of the theatrical eras discussed one of the Theatre History Group Projects.

What are you wearing to watch this play?
When you finally take your seat (or standing position) what does the theatre look like?
What do you think the differences were from the person you were pretending to be attending a play in their era and you attending a play in the present time?

Students will identify a specialized/marginalized student
population to examine. Students will
research this population and prepare an annotated
bibliography.
Identify and select
at least eight (5) scholarly sources closely
related to your research focus. If any of your references are more than ten years old,
please explain your rationale for selecting them. You may
access scholarly articles by going to the CCNY library online. Contact a librarian if you do not know how to
do so.
I have changed the sources requirement to 5 scholarly sources – so you must use the library.

Next, please prepare
an annotated bibliography based on at least
scholarly or peer-reviewed sources. This should be based on your Flipgrid
presentation. You will summarize and evaluate the ideas from the articles, and books you have consulted. These sources may include
relevant reports commissioned by government agencies, businesses, private
foundations, think tanks, NGOs, or nonprofits as well as academic journals.
Finally,
please prepare an introduction to your annotated bibliography that makes a persuasive “case” regarding
the significance of your selected question or problem. This annotated bibliography will have the following:
