Reenacting a story
All are welcome to reenact the stories in the Archives. We hope you will decide to participate!

Part 1. How to reenact a story
Each story in our Archives has one or more accompanying Dramatizations; participating volunteer Preservation Assistants can print them out, and reenact the encounter of their choice at home, or in public. You can choose a fitting setting for the reenactment (for example, a park for a story set in a park), or you can perform the Dramatization wherever you happen to be when you feel inspired.

The Initiative's Dramatizations require different numbers of people; some involve up to four people, while others can be performed by one Preservation Assistant and a randomly-chosen person on the street. This information is noted at the top of each Dramatization.

To locate a suitable Dramatization, please visit the Story Archives.

Part 2. Questions for the reenactor
Reenacting the stories is another way that the Initiative studies their meaning. Once you've reenacted a Dramatization, please email us
(at mews.pari@gmail.com), and we'll ask you a few follow-up questions.

We also hope you'll consider photographing your performance, and sending us the pictures.

All of this information will then be added to the database, along with your name--unless you would prefer to remain anonymous. If you have a website, we can add a link to your URL as well.

Thanks!
