Intro to our Aesthetic Exploration

On this blog, we will be interacting with Macbeth beyond the primary text. Thinking through the lens of line/movement and color/texture, you'll be re-imagining various scenes from the play using the "medium" or "media" of your choice.

Your group must make choices that align with the text (reflect the play's plot, themes, tone, etc.) and must somehow incorporate words/quotations from the scene.

How each group chooses to do this is up to you. It does not have to be exact or perfect or mimetic; rather, it can be conceptual. I'm embedding an example model from Antigone--like five years ago, my Sophomores did something similar to what I'm asking you to do. For my model, I took the section, made my translated song lyrics by infusing some important lines with my own words. Then I wrote some music and voila!

I did it a long time ago and can't find my old recording. . .so I had to do it quickly again. Don't make fun. I just used Garage Band for the first time and it really shows every mistake. . .oh well! Willing to take risks, willing to be disturbed:)

Have fun!
