Drama 8 - Fairy Tale Mimes

 Choose a fairy tale.  List out the important scenes you want to include.  Decide who is going to play which part (casting).  Choose what you will show in each tableau (introduction, climax and "happily ever after").  Then you need to compose your tableaux and plan out how you will tell the story through mime.  Remember to cheat to the audience, exaggerate your facial expressions, and take your time in the performance so that the audience can understand what you're doing.  The whole performance should take about 3 minutes.

You need to have incidental music to accompany you throughout your mime and tableaux performance.  There should be no time during the performance when there is no music.  If you have items at home that can help your performance, you may bring them.  During the COVID epidemic, we can't use the props and costumes we have in the closets.

Then you need to practice!  Practice makes perfect.  The more times you act it out, the less likely it is for you to forget what to do or make mistakes when you perform.

Journal #2:

How would you rate yourself (from 1 - 4 with one being not good and 4 being excellent) at your skill at group work?  Why do you choose the rating you do?  What are you good at with groups?  How can you improve?  Are you a good leader?  Explain your answer.

Write about a time when you worked in a group (it can be a good or bad experience).  What did you learn from the experience?
