Create a representation of the passage using Image Theater. Image Theater uses the bodies of the participants like statues to represent important moments in a text. Often several moments are presented in order, rather like the boxes of a comic strip; onlookers close their eyes while the group moves from one “tableau” to the next. One can use bodies to represent not only characters and events, but also where roles like narrator, author, and reader are positioned in relation to the text.
