The wonderful world of metaphor

Grade 8 journals

How do you think the world was created?  Could you make a play out of your ideas?  Explain how.

Grade 9/10; Theatre production 11/12

What is your framework idea?  (If your group hasn't discussed it yet, come up with an idea you could present to the group.)  How will the stories fit in to this framework?

How did the performance of your second story go?  What went well?  What do you need to work on?

Senior Drama:

What is the most difficult emotion for you to play?  Why do you think it is so challenging?  What can you do to find a way to play that emotion?

Think of an actor who has presented the emotion you find difficult.  (Give their name and the play, film or show in which they performed the emotional scene.)  What did that actor do to show the emotion?

(An example is the one I often use of Marlon Brando's performance in "On the Waterfront".  He played a romantic scene with Eva Marie Saint.  He didn't kiss her or tell her he loved her.  He joked around with her and he PUT ON HER GLOVE.  When he did that, you knew he loved her.  It was just amazing.)
