Living statues

Last week all classes learned some vocabulary around emotions and used their faces and bodies to show their feelings. Students had a chance to act for an audience of four and for the whole class, by themselves and in a small group. This week, we will be exploring the concept of living statues and tableau. Students will learn the skills of holding a position, maintaining an expression, and using their bodies silently to express a "living" picture. Some examples below show us "living statues."
