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:
  • Re9.1.3c: Compare and debate the connection between a drama/theatre work and contemporary issues that may impact audiences. 

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.

  • In your journal (#3), what do you believe the message in this short performance to be? How do you perceive Yoann Bourgeois’s intention? To what extent do you feel this piece impacts an audience? (Full page journal)

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.

​

DO NOT READ THE JOURNAL PROMPT (below) UNTIL AFTER YOU WATCH THE PERFORMANCE.

  • In your journal (#4), “The Hit is inspired by the idea of cognitive dissonance. Leon Festinger’s theory has much to say about modern life: why we do jobs we hate, why we defend the indefensible and how we stay immersed in a world of coercive consumerism. If the 20th century was about ideology, the 21st is about identity. The question is…are we all puppets?” Address this question and the thematic content performed as well as the context provided in this prompt. (Full page journal)
