- Move into groups of 5 or 6 and, using the words we just explored as inspiration, pick a specific situation and create a tableau that represents an image of online oppression. One person in your group will represent the victim and therefore the oppressed person.
- One member from the group sculpts other members of the group into a still picture (they can also be a part of it). When completed, other members of the group can make suggestions and alter parts of the tableau - each alteration needs to be debated and agreed upon. Groups should work quickly! 5 minutes!

- Now the group needs to find ways to get from the first image to the ‘Ideal’ image, and come up with 3 new tableaux that show this process. A number of possible solutions may be found in this way. They should debate and decide which images of transition are the most likely to succeed and why. The example shows an issue – school exam stress, the ideal image, finding balance, and the way to do this 1) seeking help 2) planning 3) study time 4) social time.
- Give each tableau a title. Practise going between each tableau, hold it, say the title as one, then move to the next image.
- Perform each for the rest of the class.
