Subbed for theatre class in middle school today. I have a question for teachers that have dealt with this. We did improv ( of course... but not that ridiculously stupid freeze tag game.. we did real improv ) Anyway.. they had been playing Taxi... people enter the scene with characters ... etc. One of the kids chose such a HUGE stereotypical type... over the top... class laughed. Now, since it was improv and I was there for two hours.. I didn't comment at all... but.. what would a full time teacher do? Stereotypes are seen everywhere. Saturday Night Live... and movie with ex saturday night live stars... etc. BUT.. in this day and age of political correctness.. it seems like it should be addressed. It's bullying. It's racist.. it's all that stuff.. but.. improv shouldnt have editing in it.. but.. middle school... I am very curious. Im not talking about what happened today. Thats done and it wasnt addressed at all. No need to as far as I am concerned.. but were it an ongoing gig.. surely it needs to be addressed, if for no other reason than the parents with issues... Suggestions?
