Tableaus are a fancy name for freeze frames. Something you need to make a Tableau good is Levels (The different height), Physicality (Body Movement), and Facial Expressions. We did a set of Tableaus to do with Maui and the Fish. There were 3 Tableaus, one for the start, one for the middle, and one for the end.
For some reason the video of my group didn't save so I had to use another group's images. We also had to answer a few questions for each Tableau.
What works well in this tableau? The levels are very good and how they are crouched and standing up.
What would you improve/change in this tableau? I would change the physicality because there isn't a lot of body movement and everyone is sort of in the same position.
Where did your group use facial expressions, Physicality, and levels well? This group didn't use a lot of facial expressions very well everyone is just blank-faced. They used okay physicality but there isn't a lot of body positions. The levels though are very good because they aren't all in the same height.
What works well in this tableau? This tableau is very good because the facial expressions are all different and everyone is shocked.
What would you improve/change in this tableau? I wouldn't change much because it's quite well done. I would only change Reuben's physicality because he's just sitting there looking at Adrian standing up.
Where did your group use facial expressions, Physicality, and levels well? This group used facial expressions really good but the Physicality is better than the last one but still not amazing. The levels are good too but not amazing.
What works well in this tableau? This tableau is not the best but it is okay. The levels are pretty good and the physicality is okay but there are no facial expressions anywhere.
What would you improve/change in this tableau? I would change the facial expressions because everyone is just staring at Adrian standing up.
Where did your group use facial expressions, Physicality, and levels well? This group had good levels, Okay physicality, and terrible facial expressions. This tableau isn't the best.
Thank you for reading.
I really like the definitions you have included because that helps the reader understand the Drama process. The pictures make it lively.

ReplyDeleteYour post is very interesting. I don't know a lot about dramatic technique, and so this was very instructive for me. I'd love to see a 'take 2' on this, where you re-shot the poses with what you have learned. That way we could see the before and after.
That is a very good idea Mr Sutton. Maybe we can do that next Drama session?
