Basics • Neutral Position-feet in line with hips; hands at side; looking straight ahead • Insolations-are the movement of parts of your body • Walking-be aware of the space; walk in a bubble; try not to walk with your friend • Space-the area in a room that you use • Levels-the height of your body-High, medium, or low • Freeze frame/still image- a frozen picture

  12. Freeze Frames/Still Image • Still Image/Freeze Frame is a frozen picture • It doesn’t move

  13. Reflection • Strength • People understood my group’s still images. • We had good positions for the machine race. • When playing Blob, I laughed less then normal. • Improve • Make our still images more enjoyable for our audience. • Make simpler positions for the machine race so that we could win. • Communicator • In drama class, I was a communicator by telling a story using only body positions (still images). This shows that I was a communicator because I communicated to my class by telling a silent story.
