Shakespeare meant that what we see on stage or in art is a reflection of real life.... that's why even more than 500 years after his plays were written, we can still identify with his characters. What's more, the art we see in galleries, streets and online is a reflection on the artist's nature and how WE interpret it depends on our own experience of the world....

So, today we have the opportunity to appreciate both the visual and performing arts of London, across two very different times in history. Our groups will alternate between acting scenes from Othello on London's most famous stage: The Globe and experiencing of innovative art at the Tate Modern  Gallery. 

As you wander freely through this iconic gallery, choose ONE  of the following tasks to complete (either A or B)

A) Take a photograph for your social media of the work of art which (in your opinion) is the BEST or WORST exhibit in the Tate Modern (i.e. the one that you either like / dislike the most). It should respect the photography rule of thirds and it must be clearly illuminated and impactful. After that, re-edit this picture on your mobile phone adding something extra, in order to either elaborate, improve and/or reinterpret the original meaning. Share  your group’s contribution with the rest of the group, for example on the group chat. Feel free to add music in the background to enhance your artistic representation and add a few hashtags related to the meaning of your new creation!

B) Invent a short story connected to one piece of art. The object or the painting should be the main character of your story. Let your creativity flow!
