Auto Drama

For my acting class this evening I have to perform an auto drama. When I first heard this I so confused. All I understood was we had to make our life a metaphor and in an abstract theater way, we have to perform a high point in our life. I know, sounds confusing.

I decided that the metaphor for my life would be 'my life is a move'. By move, I'm referring to the term changing of permanent address, which I've done a lot of. My parents helped me develop this idea, thank goodness! I've decided to bring in a suitcase and pack for 'moving to Prov.'. Each object I pack will have relevance to a place I once considered home. This allows for me to talk about each place and how it was important to me. After I finish my talk about each place, I will rip a piece from this paper heart I have, and stick it on the object I'm packing. This is supposed to represent that each of those places have a piece of my heart, and a piece of who I am. Hopefully that's abstract enough.

It sounds like a good idea in my head, so we'll see how it plays out.
