Description

Using the instructions from Tableaux 1, break the group into smaller groups (2 – 4 participants).  Instructions for participants: You will be handed a sheet of paper that has the name of an object on it.  Without using words you will create three tableaux:

1. The object is “Discovered”
2. The object is “Explored”
3. The object is “Discarded”

Share with the group

Another option:  In place of an object, try this with a space (cavern, boardroom, pool, etc.), a person or a concept….

Adaptation

Other iterations might include, sharing the tableaux in the various ways:

• With sounds
• In gibberish
• Where you have a constricted amount of space
• Where you can only use one word of dialogue
• Where you all move backwards
