Full teaching script
- Today: Freeze-frame and status. Our goal: Use body and status to tell a story.
- Take one idea at a time. Pause after each sentence; ask for repetition whenever you need it.
- Drama says with body what prose says with adjectives. A freeze-frame is a still picture of one moment: level, distance and eyeline carry the meaning. Status is who holds power in a scene — high status is stillness, held eye contact and space taken; low status is fidget, glances and a shrinking shape. Swap status halfway through a scene and an audience feels the turn without a word being said.
- Together: choose one example from the explanation and show how it works. What do you notice?
- Your turn: Build three freeze-frames of one story and swap the status in the last.
- Reflect: what made sense, and what would you like explained differently?
