Dear Photograph Website- A resources for helping actors understand creating memories.

Dear Photograph website by Taylor Jones 

I find as a Theatre teacher working with high school age actors, one of the hardest challenges is helping student create memories for their characters.  Our students sometimes don't have that life experience to have a full understanding of what they need to portray on stage.

I came across the Dear Photograph website and I found it moving and touching. It provides such a strong visual representation of  memory and emotion.  It could be a great place for student actors to go to for inspiration for their character past.  

An example, a student playing Tom in Glass Menagerie

Google Cultural Institute - Anne Frank Exhibit

The Diary of Anne Frank holds a special place in my heart as Theatre artist.  It was the very first scene I ever directed, during my senior year of high school. I visited the Anne Frank  House on a school tour of Europe when I was a senior in high school.  I directed The Diary of Anne Frank at my school during  my second year of teaching. There is so much hope, fear, tragedy, and essence of the  human spirit in the play and diary.

The Google Cultural Institute gives students detailed views of primary source artifacts about some of the most significant people and events of the 20th century.  

Google Cultural Institute states, "We have created this site to provide a visually rich and interactive online experience for telling cultural stories in new ways. Discover exhibits by expert curators, find artifacts, view photographs, read original manuscripts, watch videos, and more."
