Hello peoples! Today I’m going to talk about our project called Colonizing in a Tempest. Colonizing in a tempest is a compilation of historical significance events of New France and the First Europeans colonization of what became Canada and Shakespeare’s play “The Tempest”. We did a lot of little thing that we used to make our way up to the point to create a tableau. If you don’t know what a tableau is here is a pretty good explanation. A tableau is a group of actors or anyone representing a scene from a story or from history.
When we first started this project I thought it was just going be like any other boring project. But we were actually having fun. We got to do a couple small tableaus. Just so that we get an idea of what we’re doing. The first thing we did was we watched a Shakespeare play called The Tempest. Then we had to do a couple active readings just so our teacher knows that we understand what’s going on. After we are finished watching the plane we are put into groups of two or three. Now we are in a group it was time to start creating our play. So what we had to do was create it a rough draft of the script. Once you have that approved by the teacher you’re free to move on to creating the backdrop.Monkey bar scene was act one Scene one. The main feeling of that scene was intense, scary, dark and stormy. What was actually happening in the scene was a group of European explorers we’re trap in a terrible storm over sea.Your only hope was to find any sort of shelter to stay the night. So my crew idea for the backdrop was going to be a big boat right in the middle and the background was grey stormy clouds, lightning, rain and dark, everything that you would see in a storm. Once everyone’s group was approved. We are finally able to be put into new groups so we can memorize the script. The costume was little bit more difficult because we only had one day left before the performance and we had no idea what do each of the characters were going to wear. Finally we have figured it all out everyone was ready to perform!
Before it was really good everyone did great and it was really fun! This project was definitely a thumbs up for me I really enjoyedThis project so much and I’m really glad we got to do it!
K bye ✌️
