Play!! 11.14

Activities:
In class today, we did newspaper theatre where we took newspapers and acted out and did freeze frames of what we read. MY group had a newspaper on the Marijuana ban and so we took that and freeze framed the policy RA's take in the dorm when someone has a substance on campus. In the beginning we tried to find ways to not put so much emphasis on the fact that we were pretending to be smoking but in the end, it worked by making a serious action,as it was. i believe in a way, we showed some "theatre of the opressed" technique there. 
We also began doing fluids in class today. It feels good when the audience members says you've succeeded in bringing their emotions to life!


Prompt: Select a possible topic to be explored through drama. Describe 5 possible activities/questions to be explored.
