I plan to do one of the activities with my performers (probably activity # 2) before the presentation, and the other two after the performance. The activities will be made available to the teachers of prospective audience members to be used as pre and post performance materials.
Pre-show question: (students must respond in writing. ) Have you ever heard of the blues? (Any of its possible definitions) If yes, how would you define “the blues?” (Responses should be collected for future comparisons)
