One of the things I love most about my theatre classes at Fordham is how much I learn without even realizing it.
Last week we had to make dioramas of Greek myths and present them to the class. (I chose the story of Echo and Narcissus.) People got so ridiculously creative, they thought outside of boxes I didn't even know existed.
Mine was fairly straightforward, although I had a LOT of fun making the costumes and sets, using everything from shopping bags, to tea, to dirt from my own back yard. I thought I'd post it here since it's somewhat theatre related and since I can give a shoutout at Holly for inspiring me to be crafty.
Oh, and in reference to the title of this post and to tie it back to Broadway...
Kudos for choosing a story from Ovid's Metamorphoses! You spoke to the Classics major in me.
ReplyDeleteThe diorama looks great too. I'm sure I would have loved to sit in on the presentation of them.
Thanks, Nancy! You'd appreciate Glitter and Be Gay too then, since it's from Candide, an operetta based off Voltaire's Candide. That's kind of a classic, right?
DeleteLove your diorama! Wish other Fordham professors encouraged students to be this creative (instead of having us make presentations using power point all the time-snore). Would have loved to sit in on your class to see them all!
