Armleder Artist-in-Residence Susan Jung Students at Armleder spent a day and a half with Susan Jung, Artist-in-Residence, playing theatre games and learning different theatre techniques to present Bible stories during their chapel time. Kindergarten told the story of David and Goliath as a Greek chorus, first grade presented the story of creation using medieval pageant wagons as inspiration, second grade used pantomime to tell the story of the Tower of Babel, third grade presented the story of the Good Samaritan by using their bodies to make things like a horse and cart and an inn, fourth grade used the medieval technique of tableaux vivant to act out the story of Jesus calming the storm, and fifth and sixth grade told about the body of Christ as a rap. Upper school students assisted in leading games, create the presentations and narration during the presentations
