Sept 18
Sometimes teaching gets very exciting. This week in my beginning drama class at Oakland Tech High School, we played a theater game called "questions." It was supposed to be a warm up to thinking about meaning in theater. What do we want to say in our play this semester? But something happened. We really wondered. And we started to talk about the questions, sitting in a circle, in a windowless classroom at 4:30 pm. All tired. But my brain, at least, started to expand. Why do we need school? Why can't men have babies? Why are we living to die? Why are people mean to people they don't know? Why do women suffer more than men? Why do we have technology? Why is there violence?
Can someone send answers?
