The following
Rehearse and Perform
Once you have chosen your image from the PowerPoint:
- Complete a tableau that interprets the image (students choose which masks to wear).
- Create movement and/or dialogue that communicates a simple story from the image.
- Explore the ways in which the story can use symbolic images and representations further.
- Retell the story again, turning it into a symbolic representation and then back again.
For example:
- Begin as characters who are about to go on snapchat. Decide on a situation.
- 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.
- Begin to transform into the future and become your future yourselves. This could include students selecting a new mask.
- Deliver a message to the group as a personified, or symbolic/artificial being that can speak. (a meme, an avatar, a troll, other).
- Now transform back into the present as yourself and end the piece the way you began/with a positive future outcome.
- Perform to the class.
