Step-by-Step Sequence of Learning – use these cognitive processes: experience, inquiry, creation, performance, reflection, assessment Model Lesson Two – Theatre: Movement and Stillness on Stage – Learning the Walk/Freeze and Tableaux Pre-lesson coaching: Show pictures of paintings that depict a tableau. Hang the pictures in the class for students to look at. ASSESS PRIOR KNOWLEDGE A tableau is a frozen scene. How can we make a tableau exciting? Name some examples of action packed pictures. (Example: sports photography) EXPERIENCE – Getting Smarter Preparation to teach The Walk/Freeze: Define the stage perimeters. Divide class into two groups (performers and audience). Work with one group at a time; the other group is the audience. When one group is done, switch to the other. Teach the Walk/Freeze: o Briefly explain the areas of the stage: Stage left, right; center stage; upstage, downstage. o Find a place to stand on the stage as far away from something or somebody as possible. o A “cue” signals when to go and when to stop. This is your cue: (a handclap) o When you hear the cue, please walk anywhere you want to on the stage. Here are the rules: Natural walking only No touching anybody or anything o When you hear the cue again, please freeze. “Freeze” rules are: Regular or normal way of stopping No funny freezes (for now) Freeze like ICE, not JELLO Add freezing in sharp or curved shapes o Add slow motion walking to the Walk/Freeze Side coaching: “If you’re walking behind somebody, walk the other way. If you’re walking next to somebody, walk the other way.” The Action-Packed Tableaux: Definition: A tableau is a still image, a frozen moment or "a snapshot". It is created by posing still bodies and communicates a living representation of an event (location and action). INQUIRE How can tableaux clarify the meaning of the poem?
