What is a tableau?

In a tableau, participants make still images with their bodies to represent a scene. A tableau can be used to quickly establish a scene that involves a large number of characters. Because there is no movement, a tableau is easier to manage than a whole-group improvisation – yet can easily lead into extended drama activities. It can be used to explore a particular moment in a story or drama, or to replicate a photograph or artwork for deeper analysis.

Performance 2 will be a tableau

4.  Warm-up
Name:  Silent Negotiations   Purpose: Collaboration

• What are some ways we can communicate with each other without talking?
• Be aware of the ways you collaborate with your group.
Collaboration means 1. You communicate your own ideas, but you also listen to other people. How do you “listen” when someone isn’t talking?
2. You compromise with one another.
3. You incorporate each other’s input and feedback.

Task 1:  In groups of 3-5 (in complete silence) you will create a tableaux:

•  Letters of the alphabet A, B, C, D

Task 2:  In groups of 3-5 (in complete silence) we will create a tableaux. For instance, I will call out:  wedding, funeral, baseball game, playground, school hallway, cafeteria, dungeon, love, hope.
Then I will say: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Freeze
