During this lesson, we decided on a play. From the research we did at York Road Primary School and Hartley Primary School, we decided to devise a play based on fairy tales. A few fairy tales have wolves in, and so we decided to use some characters from these fairy tales to make a play with the wolf being the central character who seems to be the antagonist, but is then revealed as the protagonist, which shows the children that we shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. Because the wolf is heard throughout the play, but not seen until the end, we have decided to use lighting to make the wolf a shadow until the end of the play. We have decided to call it Grimmsville.
In this lesson, we decided on the story line of the play and how we can make the play interactive for the children. We also discussed how the play would teach the children different morals, for example, you shouldn't judge a book by its cover and that you have to earn respect.
During this lesson, we thought about the main characters of the play and their back stories so that we could take a Stanislavskian approach to portraying these characters. We then decided who would be the best people to be these characters based on our skills and assigned roles.
During this lesson, we discussed the staging of the performance, the placement of the audience and the technical details, such as the music we need, the lighting, and how we are going to portray the wolf. We decided to use a light and white bed sheets.
