Today we were given a topic and then given a minute to think about how we'd act it out. 2 variations of this we did were archetypes of fruits (my group did banana) and as a group, act as a monster. In these two tableauxs, what I specifically should do in them really clicked fast for me. Especially with the monster one. Once Omar got into a certain hunched over position to be the central part of the monster, I figured that if I used my height to my advantage, by which I hunch over him to sort of be the head of it and to add to additional arms for the monster. I really used my height noone else can reach to help with the levels part of the tableaux which really gave it some feel. This also happened in the fruit one I, but to a lesser extent. Since we did banana, I sort of used my extra length to bend to the side to be like a long floppy banana peel. These  really helped me think of ways that, since I am uniquely tall in our class, I can use it to enhance the thing we will do in class.
