13. Assignment Requirements Tomorrow/Wednesday, I will take a picture of your tableau. In order to score this portion, I will ask: Can I tell what it going on in the scene just from this image? Did you account for all characters? Where should you be on stage? Is that where you are? Do your body position and facial expression reflect the proper emotion of your character in the scene? How much did you commit to your acting? Are you putting forth an honest effort? In addition to the image, you should hand in a written explanation that addresses the following (at least 10 sentences): Describe the scene you created. Which character were you supposed to be? What emotion/gesture are you depicting in the image? How did you decide on this and how did you achieve it? Did this scene work well as a tableau? In other words, were you able to re-create this moment as effectively as you had planned? Why or why not?
