Developing the Story and Creating a Play which Depicts the Anti-Model

Objective:

  • To create and analyze the story
  • To select troupe of performers
  • To prepare for the performance
Activity:

Create a short play -- 5 to 10 minutes in duration. The play builds to a problematic situation or crisis and stops there, offering no solutions.

Steps for story development and creation of a short play:
  • Story - share experiences and choose a story related to the theme.
  • Setting - where the events in the story took place and plan performance space.
  • Casting - who was involved and assign players to characters.
  • Rehearsal -produce play and practice.
Facilitator Tips:

Ask participants to analyze the story and prepare themselves to address audience questions put to the characters they play in the performance. They will be asked to stay in character during interactive discussion.
