Enduring Understanding 1:
Actors must be willing to follow their impulses and instincts to create compelling theatre work.
Essential Question 1:
How do our desires and goals influence others?
Materials needed:
Hook:
Play signs as a class: One person goes out of the room, the class decides on the “sign” or physical obstacles that will be passed around. One person starts it by making eye contact and doing the physical obstacle, the next person accepts it by doing the physical obstacle back, and they have it. The person comes back in the room, and has to guess who has the sign. The goal is to pass the physical obstacle around until the person in the middle can locate who has it.
theatre goal: everyone practicing the same physical obstacle.
