Gather students back together and have them take a seat. Each student will now be performing for the whole class. Take volunteers and then call out names of students if no one is jumping up. Any tardy students get to be first if no volunteers are going. Give instructor feedback after each performance. Students should take notes on their own feedback and the feedback of their peers. Conclusion: Next time is final performances!!! These are the things that are due: In your performance: - one mie (Kabuki) - one head flip (Bunraku) - pillar blocking elements (Noh) - two stylized movements (Butoh) Written: - one paragraph category of play (Noh) - one paragraph charcter type (Noh) - makeup design (Kabuki) - one paragraph makeup design (Kabuki) Lesson 9—Performances Objective: Students will demonstrate ability to incorporate Japanese theatrical elements into an American realism monologue by performing for the class. Materials Needed: none Hook: (5 minutes) We are doing the same activity as yesterday FOR A REASON. Remember what it’s like to repeat the same movement and keep it just as exaggerated as the time before. Have students up and push all their chairs away. Using the entire classroom, students need to run around the room at slow motion for three minutes as if they are running through molasses. Side Coaching: How are each of your muscles? How much energy does it take to push through? Your body should be getting very tired. How far away from your body do you need to extend your arms to pull yourself through the goo? Keep your movements just as big in your performances!!! Performance: (45 minutes) Set up four chairs at the front of the room to be the four pillars around which students should center their blocking.
