TO ALL MY THESPIANS...

GREETINGS!

I would like you to please choose one of the following scenarios below and work on a simple mime to show us how the entire situation ends. You are going to perform this mime as soon as we get back to class on Tuesday, 27 October 2009. It does not have to be a long performance...as the title goes..."How Does It End?!"...therefore that is all you have to show on your own---in mime form of course! No explanations should be given...meaning, your audience should be able to comprehend how your chosen scenario ends. No costumes, no props, no make-up...just you...the scenario...and your idea on how the situation should end...SIMPLE! If you read what I told you to focus on and read from the text...this should be a cinch...! CIAO!!!

HOW DOES IT END?!

A High School student coming home only to be told by his mother that their father left them for another woman…story continues and ends with the confrontation of student, mother, sibling(s) and the woman and father…! HOW DOES IT END?!

A person accuses his best friend of selling out to the “other group” based on what people from that group has told him/her…the pain of a best friend trusting the words of others rather than his own becomes unbearable to the friendship…! HOW DOES IT END?!

A circus clown sharing with his/her fellow clowns how miserable he/she feels about the work he/she has been doing for the past 26 years…the others are baffled by the fact that the person lasted that long in an occupation he/she despised…! HOW DOES IT END?!

A break up of a relationship between two individuals leads to one of them wanting to end it all by committing suicide…the person is later prevented from doing so by a stranger who later on turns out to be related/associated to the partner who caused the break up…! HOW DOES IT END?!
