So what’s with all these emojis and gifs? They’re all the rage, apparently.
Personally I don’t have a scooby how any of that works and the odd gif I happen to notice just gives me headaches (and makes people forget to attach their plays. ahem!) . I just about mastered smily faces. 🙂 <= see?!
However, apparently, yuvs (yoot?) today have created an entire language out of them. There’s a fascinating sub-culture going on with these things.
And they’ve taken over fruits and vegetables… you can’t ask for an aubergine or a peach or… well, you get my drift.
I wonder, then… can they be used for the greater good? or at the very least for theatre?
So your challenge for today – write a play using emojis, gifs, and any other non verbal imagery that is now used as forms of communication.
Perhaps the entire play is in emojis, perhaps only the stage directions, perhaps use them sporadically in the dialogue.
Either way, use them!
USE THEM, I say!
But here’s the thing. Make sure the play still makes sense. Remember, it’s a play. Someone is meant to read it and know how to stage it. so make it work, baby, make it work!
And in terms of content, seeing as we’re all teched up – why not write about that? The joys or perils of technology?
*thumbs up emoji* (am I using this right?)
