Childrens Theatre.

In the first few lessons we started to discuss what we thought a should be in a piece of Children's Theatre. We came up with many ideas including, Bright and Colourful, Active, Interesting, Audience Participation, Story like, Morals, Educational, Music and Song and a lot more. We started by brain storming all our ideas in small groups before coming together as one group and deciding on these:

After deciding on this the next task was to do some research into Native Americans. This involved us reading all the stories about them, listening to music, watching dances and reading poems. The stories i read we're all quite similar. A lot of them are written about creation and boys journeys into man hood. This is something everyone else found out too. So from doing this research it gave us the idea about making our story about a journey of some sort. However we still needed to agree on what stories we were going to use within the piece. To help us decide we came up with three lists. Yes, No and Maybe.

From making these lists got us thinking more about what we wanted to put across to the audience. However we discovered we didn't have enough to create a long enough piece. So this was something we had to look for in the half term.
