Drama

Today we learnt about Aboriginal theatre. We watched a short clip with depicted a story about a frog who drank all of the water and then the Aboriginal man and the animals had a meeting and tried ways to get the water back. They decided to make the frog laugh and no one could do so until an eel did a really funny dance and then they got all the water back (yay!)

We then had to get into groups and modernise this scene while still keeping the original aspects of the story. I honestly don't remember what my group did but I know it wasn't very good. Our feedback was to use our time more wisely and think more extensively about the task so we weren't forced to improvise a scene when the time came to perform it.
