Week 3
10/5

Objectives
Actors worked in small groups to “sculpt” each other into characters in a scene, based on prompts such as: Show Me: “friendship”, “argument” and “people enjoying themselves at the beach”. Ask your student what they came up with!

Characters
Teachers Miranda and QuiQui worked with actors in two groups and created scenes using a set structure and then performed the short scenes for each other.

Ensemble Building
We gathered in the cafeteria and then headed to the church where actors played “Zip, Zap, Zop”. In four groups, actors discussed what words they want in a class charter. Then each group shared their words in a presentation to the class.
