I hope your Memorial Day weekend was one of family, self-care, and remembrance. As we move towards the close of the school year, we will be spending our class time viewing and discussing contemporary works of theatre and their impact on audiences. This content meets the following standard, which has been identified as our remaining “essential learning requirements” for the semester:
TUESDAY: Watch the following 5-minute performance entitled Celui qui tombe (He Who Falls) by Yoann Bourgeois. Do not research the piece or the director/choreographer. Simply view it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0zqQxz4DHs&fbclid=IwAR1ctNpMekK2Zk_Pe8DdQmGSt3uQP8oXD_cAn43OUNGdr59hKmZBLjojxOw
WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY: Watch the following 47 minute theatrical puppetry piece entitled The Hit by Strangeface, a devising theatre company. Do not read the synopsis at the bottom of the frame or any spoilers – just watch. I want you to go in blank. https://vimeo.com/408917925?fbclid=IwAR37UB1pgXr_vDMe057oI2LsXquw8cZeDWIbFXBjTHAZxB6hoP7-zaxpqDU DO NOT READ THE JOURNAL PROMPT (below) UNTIL AFTER YOU WATCH THE PERFORMANCE. . . . . .

Great work on the submitted audition self-tapes! I loved seeing what monologues you selected and watching your performance skills develop in a digital format. Only three weeks left of course content! As you move towards the end of the year, please make sure you are caught up on your journals.
I want to introduce you to more non-traditional theatre in the last few weeks we have of the year. This week we will be exploring the “audience experience”, through an experience I doubt any of you have had. Complete the following days in order. I am being vague-on-purpose with this specific theatrical experience and want you to “discover” it on your own. I have had friends who have gone to this show, and I don’t want to cloud your discovery with those second-hand opinions/reviews. MONDAY: Explore the following website for 10-15 minutes: https://mckittrickhotel.com/sleep-no-more/ You should also go to the “About” section at the bottom of the page and read through it. Do not click on any video links on the website should you stumble upon them in order to avoid spoilers.
TUESDAY: View this trailer for Sleep No More. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k12NZLh_Xvg
WEDNESDAY: View this British news report/advertisement on Sleep No More. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RziojmOarHY
With any remaining time in your 25 minutes for the day, start Thursday’s work… THURSDAY: Take electronic notes on the following informational text: https://www.bl.uk/20th-century-literature/articles/a-punchdrunk-approach-to-making-theatre
