Romeo and Juliet Prologue Performances

Today we received our Romeo and Juliet modernized Performance. We are supposed to perform the original prologue along with movements, and adapt it into a modern version and choreograph that as well. This will hopefully help with our next project, being the Shakespeare Puppet Performances where we will have to modernize a whole play.

Here is the original prologue:
Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
Where ancient grudge break into new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life.
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is not the two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

Our groups were assigned to us, and my group is Jason, Rikelle, Daniella, and Aisha. Rikelle generously agreed to be narrator for both scenes! That will be a lot of memorization.

I hope that starting out with adapting a smaller piece into a modern version will help us for the upcoming project.
