Answer 1

With all due respect; you have "ACTED" them out; just in creating them.

No one here can know your motives, but hopefully you do, and LIVED the experiences as you created each piece.

I have to agree with answer one in the use of the word "Imagination" and what you felt; imagined; when writing each "poem" Go with those feelings when you want to express them visually.

I've been involved in Theater as long as much else in my life, and ACTING is what you're wanting to do. You already have the SCRIPT, and if PROPS will help; use them.

Beyond that; will this be a spoken monologue/ acted out? OR will it be super titles? OR copies handed out as you ACT? Certainly the most difficult method acting would be MIME and keeping the audience on track.

In any case it's an assignment; I assume graded; and combines various effects; theatrical, as well as an original work you're trying to present.

No matter your age or skills level; obviously you've "ACTED" before; even when fibbing (no offense) to your parents or a friend. APPLY that to this assignment. It's YOU, telling a story.

BTW,,,Forget a time limit. That isn't at all what you'll be graded on; most especially if you go OVER a minute, or the content and quality is only 30 seconds long.

Write a vigennette where you act out and say the poem, use your imagination.
