Poem Theatrical Response-Eating Poetry

What you're doing? Why?
At first, when the librarian walked into the stage, she saw a person, which we change the dog into a person, right there that seems reading the paper. but when she walked closer, the man started to rip the paper up but keep being happy and having a smiling face on him. The whole process will be silent. We felt that the poem sends a strange scene that would not happen, and a scene like this would send different messages and thoughts to different people, and putting words on it will not help with the scene a lot but limiting people's imagination on it.


What aspect of the poem will you highlight in your performance?
I will highlight the part where the character acting to be smiling or happy and ripping paper at the same time. Usually ripping paper will give people a sense of the character is angry, but what we want for this character in the scene is that the character is enjoying and playing with paper in this process.

Reflection on poem performance

What was hard and what was easy for you?  Remembering the lines is really an easy part of this assignment because each of us didn ’ t get a lot of lines and it took less effort and time than I expected before the performance. But coming up with how we perform is a really hard part , there is a lot of ideas when we start to consider it and in the end, we have to choose the best of them.  What made the performances interesting to watch?  The most interesting part of our performance is the last part where four of us use our native tongue to say the words that were in Spanish , this is more interesting than just simply saying it in English because it brings to the audience what the author is trying to express. What worked and what didn't in the class as a whole? We should maybe come up with more body movement in the next performance , that will give the audiences a better picture of what we are trying to tell , they can both see it and listen , whi...
