Instructions

In groups of 3-4. Give them a turning point — a historical event, a personal decision, a moment of change. They create two frozen tableaux: the moment just before and the moment just after. Show both to the group with a 5-second gap of movement between them. Debrief: what changed? What stayed the same?
