Drama 2,3,4 - 9/24/13

Today in class we talked about the reformation and how it effected the theater in England.  The church of England felt that as the reformation began to spread they would ban any and all performances.  Satire was becoming a popular genre and they felt they were holding off an uprising of their own.  The church was also feeling a sense of competition with it's morality plays.

We began to discuss the use of our body movements to re-enforce the words we use to tell our "story" and also to fill in information that might never actually be said.  We can us our body language to fill out our characters and make them more real.  We played some games to help us see the connection that an audience can have with the power of body language!
