Devised Theater: 2/23/16
Exercises:
Robot trust game!
One partner closes eyes, and can be told to move forward by touching top of head, reverse on lower back, shake hands by touching elbow, rotate 90 by a shoulder tap, and hug in front of you, by a double shoulder tap. Big trust game, lots of fun.
We also did the back to back squat with a partner thing. Was fun. Was also interesting to see how much of the class struggled with squats.
Performance of devised theater piece:
My partner and I did a piece based on A meets B, A loses B, B gets A back, with some songs, violence and surprises mixed in.
It went along the lines of:
Bob meets Ashley at central park.
They are years long pen pals
They are happy, do the charlie brown dance.
Ashley says it's her birthday
Bob says he forgot what day it was, and is sorry.
Ashley is offended, and makes to leave.
Bob taps her shoulder, but is punched in the nose hard.
He argues with her, calls her a psycho
"You broke my heart"
"You broke my nose" etc.....
After that, they make up when Bob writes a "I'm sorry I love you" note in his own blood.
Ash forgives her, they go to get some coffee.
Was a lot of fun.
Next class:
Do research on greensboro sit-ins!!
