ADA 2OIP: Collective Fairytale Creation

Now that we have refreshed your mind about what you have previously
learned in Drama, you will perform a fairy tale for our class to best highlight
your strengths as a performer and show your understanding of staging
principles. You may use anything else you remember from previous dramatic
experience to enhance your scene including mime work, vocal inflection,
word emphasis, showing emotion, and character creation.
Your fairy tale scene should take place in the moment either right
before the story begins traditionally or right after the scene took
place.
You will have two classes to rehearse as a full troupe. As such, this will be a
work in progress as a performance. Performances will be Wednesday and
Thursday with an in-class written reflection after the final performance is
completed. Reflection questions will be handed out separately.
