link NOTE: Last week to MOrn in missing homework or makeup for missed classes; consult TA if you need exception.

MON Apr 21 Homework Hints: What is Disney's Tamara Theatre? TAMARA image -Tamara theatre is simultaneous theatre of leadership in different rooms. Means team organizes event so each member does an independent leading of an event in a room, at same time team-members lead their event in other rooms. Aft say 15 minutes, the audience members move off to experience a different room. Best to have a map, signs, and lots of team rehearsal before doing this event.

In the room, team members get written character roles (with enough detail to let them improv). Need to do rehearsal with the audience in each room, so they get it, then move into the team-member's attempt to lead, then do the forum theatre selecting/volunteering of audience members. If this event is successful, then each member of the class (audience) will have had the opportunity to lead at least once). Take about 45 minutes to do entire event. In each room audience members are invited (or selected) to imitate (& innovate) based upon the team member's first attempt to lead in that room.
