Today's assignment

Watch the prologue from Beauty & the Beast.
In small groups of three to six, create a short performance to the prologue from Beauty and the Beast with a focus on speaking and moving in chorus.

Experiment with:

• Choral moments (move as one/speak in unison)
• Gestures (movement of a part of the body to express an idea/feeling)
• Exaggerate some gestures- this makes it interesting to watch
• Solo: each person has one solo movement and/or text
• write begin-middle-end of your story in the worksheet!
