As a program called Storied we were interested in having the students tell stories in new and interesting ways. We also wanted to develop stories as an ensemble. We did various projects where students would start with prompt and then send it on to another group that would add. And again till the final version.
In this projects groups got a setting and imagined three characters and a problem. They sent their idea to another group to design costumes and draw the characters. Then a groups wrote and performed a short play using the images as the "actors".
Students in groups choose an image of 2 or 3 characters and sent it to another group. This group sent 2 mice. Then the group wrote a scripts and acted it out based on the image they found.
