The following

Rehearse and Perform

Once you have chosen your image from the PowerPoint:

  1. Complete a tableau that interprets the image (students choose which masks to wear).
  2. Create movement and/or dialogue that communicates a simple story from the image.
  3. Explore the ways in which the story can use symbolic images and representations further.
  4. Retell the story again, turning it into a symbolic representation and then back again.

For example:

  1. Begin as characters who are about to go on snapchat. Decide on a situation.
  2. Show that you are concerned about the future outcome of the situation but for example ‘your hands are tied.’ Or whatever idea you have discussed with your chosen image.
  3. Begin to transform into the future and become your future yourselves. This could include students selecting a new mask.
  4. Deliver a message to the group as a personified, or symbolic/artificial being that can speak. (a meme, an avatar, a troll, other).
  5. Now transform back into the present as yourself and end the piece the way you began/with a positive future outcome.
  6. Perform to the class.
