Walk for a while in another person's shoes!

Grade 9/10; Theatre Production 11

On Monday, arrive at class in character.  If you think clothes would help you (they often do in cases like this), think about what your character would wear.  Remember to try to internalize your character -- most people don't tell everyone everything that's going on.  It is absolutely vital that you listen to Mr. Ballon (in Block C) and Mr. Gasteroji (in Block A).  If you defy them, we can't do the activity.

The goal in the extended role play activity is to walk a while in another person's shoes.  Experience the world as someone else and see what their experience might be.  It will help you empathize more with other people -- that's an essential element of an actor's bag of tricks.

Grade 8's

Learn your lines for the Aesop plays!  Remember to come in something that makes you look like a group.

I am working on your journals and report cards this weekend.  I am far behind, and I don't enjoy doing report cards anyway, so it is very easy to procrastinate!  Lots of you know what that's like!
