Tableau Theatre

Another Variation: Finding Solutions

Our Activities Today...

How it works:

"Frozen Pictures"

Origins:

A tableau is an image that appears to be frozen in time. It is extremely helpful in communicating feelings when teaching historical events.

First, we will be doing a completion tableau. The idea stemmed from a peace activist group in Turkey. Don't be afraid to try the activity! When we all work together, it will be fun and you will want to use this in your classroom!

Next, we will do a government power chain activity. Get ready to move!

Tableau Theater is a tool created by the "Theater of the Oppressed". This theater company originated in 1971 in Brazil and it strives to create a voice for those who are silenced and oppressed. Today, it is a tool used by organizations across the world to raise awareness and solve problems.

Historical aspect: students learn about groups of people involved in historical events (native Americans and European settlers, north and south civil war sides, etc.) For an additional activity, you can bring the frozen pictures to life by touching the students' heads and having them speak.

Theater is a powerful tool that allows students to express their feelings in a third person format. It also gives students the chance to find solutions to problems they are facing at home and at school.
