Developing Your Scene
Option A: Passive
This option involves designing a scene that participants can walk up to, experience, and move on from on their own accord. It is structured to allow for participants to engage with the material in any order and is self-directed.
The emphasis here is on bringing an issue to life in a way that communicates deeper understanding or awareness.
Option B: Mixed Media
This option offers you the chance to draw from media resources to supplement your scene. It involves a strategy for welcoming, gaining the attention of, and presenting to participants in a more linear order.
The emphasis is on either a) the media itself to offer critique or b) uses media as part of the story you seek to communicate.
Option C: Interactive
This option invites participants to be part of the scene itself. This active participation may include filling out a form or addressing the audience through dialogue in a skit. The scene should be designed to engage and involve participants without shocking them or putting any one person on the spot.
The emphasis here is to create an environment that offers participants a small glimpse of what life is like for certain individuals in our society.
