Artist/Teacher Institute
Playwrighting Workshop
Assignment II: After closing your eyes and scribbling for 7 seconds, circle an object in your scribble and write a script about it within a couple of minutes.
I AM a WAVEBIRD
I am a wavebird
Yes, that’s what I said thank you!
I am a bird that floats on the waves
…AND soars through the skies.
I have no limitations!
I am free and you cannot catch me.
Come from below, I’ll rise to the clouds.
Come from above, I can dive beneath the surface of the sea.
I repeat; YOU CANNOT CATCH ME! I AM FREE!
I bask in the sun.
I paddle with my partner for fun.
I don’t need a lighthouse.
I stay in the sunshine & let my own light shine.
THE END
Note: O.k. so I’ve written poetry in my past; never before tried to be a playwright – but I loved this activity & the resultant poem! :)
