Blue Apple Players drama program & Western Middle School students [Louisville, KY]
Living Pictures at 21C Museum, Louisville, KY.
The second collaboration with Blue Apple Players at 21c Museum. This time the Blue Apple Players guided 100 sixth and seventh grade Western Middle School students [Louisville, KY] through a creative and educational drama workshop, with a specific focus on the tableau vivant art form. Tableau Vivant marries the art forms of the stage with those of painting and photography by using actors frozen in a scene to depict a story or theme. Students will have their tableaux vivants photographed by Patrick Pfister of Pfoto.com and installed in the 21c Museum. At the opening, a select group of students will share a short demonstration of drama skills, and the students will be available to answer questions about the process of creating the photographs.
