For the class activity- fairy tale endings with a twist we successfully reinvented Cinderella's fairy tale. I suggested the following two stories for the play:
- The shoes fits Cinderella, they kiss and turn into frogs. (reverse juxtaposition)
- The shoe fits two damsels, and it turns out Cinderella had a twin sister. The evil step mother has separated them when they were kids. They thank the prince to help them reunite and they start their own business where they custom make glass slippers! The business makes them very rich.
We decided to go with the version 2 since it tried to creatively introduce a new function of the glass slippers- reunite sisters! We had some interesting props and also came up with some last minute on stage improvisations. It was a fun exercise, we got to leave class early and I was able to witness the fairy tale sunset as I made my way back home.
There sure is a pot of gold hidden somewhere in the sky above. Sometimes the winter sunset gives it away..and against the silhouette of the leafless trees you can catch all the radiance of the shinning doubloons!
