Make certain that you have completed the worksheet from Friday, February 3rd's class.
The three-person 'conflict' scenes you performed on Monday with the ADA 3M's were excellent. Today, you focused on developing two-person scenes with a conflict centred on gender-based stereotypes. We only got to see four scenes before the bell rang--looking forward to seeing the rest tomorrow.
Concepts we were reminded of from sharing our work:
a) how an object can become a symbol (remote control);
b) how physical proximity can represent the distance between our points of view;
c) how our acting partners can support us in a scene when we forget what we had rehearsed;
d) how to hold for laughs while still maintaining a 'natural' flow of dialogue...
We will be using these scenes as a jumping off point as we look at the roles of actor/director/playwright. In the meantime, check out this site: http://brechtforum.org/abouttop
How does what we are doing in class around gender conflict related to Augusto Boal's vision of theatre and its role in society?
