Today we started planning how we would set the stage for each of the stories and decided where we would actually perform them. After contemplating whether to use the stage or not we decided we would per from on the floor and have the children sitting on the floor in a semi circle. I think a semi circle is a good way to make the children feel part of the performance, it means we can be centred in between the children and talk to them all in a more informal way. Also having them on the same level as us will make it easier for us to interact with them and make them feel like part of the story instead of just watching it.
We then started planning what was gonna happen in Jack and the Beanstalk and thinking of ideas for how to create it. For the beanstalk I thought we could have some scaffolding we have covered in vines as the bottom of the stalk. As jack starts to climb up the lights could fade out as he descends up into the clouds. Then as the lights come up another world above the clouds is seen, which is the Giants Kingdom.
