Introducing... STORY THEATER

THURSDAY 10 APRIL 2008

Today's class we were separated into groups yet again for the next assignment, Story Theater. Once, again to my great relief, Pritina is my director along with Farrah, and my team mates are Natasha, Judy and Lauren. We're a team of four compared to the other groups who are teams of five.

We had to discuss what story we were going to act out as a group. Our directors had to decide upon what style of performance to use. Ian told everyone that the story theatre had to incorporate a bit of chorus work (which includes singing and sound effects). We didn't have a very long meeting, Pritina and Farrah want us to go home and think about what it was we wanted to do.

As for me, i was thinking about something like hansel and gretel or jack and the beanstalk... those are some of my favourite fairy tales. Too often when people say fairy tales they think, cinderella, snow white, sleeping beauty, they forget the good ones like those two or even something like Puss in boots... i like that story, it's short and sweet with a nice ending.

I'll write out a list of stories that i think we should do and then take it up to the next team meeting which has yet to be decided because we have mid-semester break next week and Pritina will let us know by text when we'll meet up.

That's about it for now. Keep in touch for more stuff about our story theatre work.
