Ways to tell a story

Read a book-You can read a book to the audience so that they an listen and understand the story. This is effective as it would be easy to follow as they can imagine things in their head. Also if they don't understand, they can ask questions.

Through song-You can sing to the audience which could tell them what's going on or they can sing through the character telling the audience their thoughts and feelings.

Movement-You can move around so the audience could tell where the character or the scene is taking place. This could also show what the character feels.

Through dance-This is more advanced than movement. You could dance in the show to show the emotion of the character. An example of this could be that if a person was dancing ballet, it could show that they're upset.

Monologue-You can say about what the character feels about the current situation or what they are going to do. You could also use this for a character who would narrate the story.

Narration-This is where one performer would speak directly to the audience to tell a story, give information, or comment on the action of characters.

Image Thaeatre-This is where still images are used to explore the abstract concepts for relationships or emotions as well as realistic situations.

Cross-cutting-This technique was originally used in film. This is where two scenes are intercut to establish continuity. This can be done to show two or more scenes at a time.
