The Force of Friction
“Change means movement. Movement means friction. Only in the frictionless vacuum of a non-existent abstract world can movement or change occur without that abrasive friction of conflict.”
Saul Alinsky
Ninth grade students wrote, directed, and produced bilingual one act plays based on the lives of unaccompanied minors who attempted to make the controversial journey from Latin America to the United States. These bilingual plays allow for audience participation right at the moment of greatest tension.
In physics and maths, students build on energy transformation work from earlier this year to explore geometrical transformations in maths. We then demonstrate our understanding of both physical and geometric transformations in large and small kinetic art pieces models inspired by Klemens Torggler (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XOCDLrfwh8). These art pieces will be incorporated into the performance art pieces for Exhibition.
