GOTE E IS FOR ‘EXPECTATION’
The truest theatrical energy comes […] from an actor’s eager portrayal of the character’s expectations and his or her consequent efforts to bring these expectations to fulfillment. Positive expectation, on the actor’s part, lends his or her portrayal a necessary excitement and energy. Not all characters succeed, of course, but they must be shown to expect success and even to be enthusiastic about their prospects.
- Robert Cohen, Acting One, 1992, p. 49

TRY THIS AT HOME: PREPARE TO PERFORM
Preparation for Performance (Robert Cohen, Acting One) 1. A moment of physical release—shaking your
arms, legs.. 2. A study of your Other—what do you find
fascinating/scary about your Other? 3. What excites you about the situation of the
scene? What’s the best that can happen to your character?
4. What terrifies you about the situation of the scene? What’s the worst that can happen to your character?
5. Final GOTE check: “I’m gonna (EXPECTATION!) win this (GOAL!) by doing this and this (TACTICS) to him/her (OTHER). And I’m gonna win it now!”

STANISLAVSKI
Constantin Stanislavski is arguably one of the most influential figures in theater.
MORE INTENSITY!

STANISLAVSKI
[The actor] will not give himself up wholly to his part unless it carries him away. When it does so, he becomes completely identified with it and is transformed. But the moment he becomes distracted and falls under the sway of his own personal life, he will be transported across the footlights into the audience or beyond the walls of the theatre, wherever the object is that maintains a bond of relationship with him.
- Stanislavski, The Actor Prepares, 1989, p. 196 (Original work published 1936)

TRY THIS AT HOME: ACTION RESEARCH & REFLECTIVE PRACTICE Action research as a framework for debriefing after class. Start by noticing. Unpack your session: what worked
and what didn’t? Any “interesting turn of events”?
How did you handle them? What made students respond? Is
there a pattern?

FINAL THOUGHTS These theoretical, yet practical, examples from theater demonstrate how learning to be better performers can help us be better teachers, no matter which part we’ve been asked to play.
To be, or not to be…
![Page 76: Owning the Stage: Using Dramatic Theory to Improve Teaching, LOEX 2014](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554bd94cb4c905706a8b5361/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
You don’t have to be theatrical in the classroom to be a better classroom performer, but being mindful about what you’re doing and the way it affects your audience will make you more intentional with the way that you teach.
