Theater: Rites of Passage

The students discussed the ritualistic origin of theater and organized themselves in groups that explored ritual through ritual performance propositions. The three parts of the ritual: separation, transition and re-integration, helped them organize their performance ritual .

Mediterranean Ritual

Ailyn Fiandor, Adaija Miller, Yunier Gonzalez, Cynthia Mederos

The group chose to meditate for a least 5 min. by focusing our minds on a certain object. This allowed for the group to develop a mentally clear and emotionally calmed state.  Our group practiced deep breathing while closing our yes and giving ourselves a ma moment away from the world.

Marriage Ritual

 Damian Navarro, Tabitha Barsimantov, Denise Ramos, Karla Ubeda, Enrique Suarez


Marriage is a way to show your significant others you are deeply serious about your relationship and you want to spend the rest of your life with the person you have chosen.

Healing Ritual

Nataly Zelaya, Stephanie Abrahams, Jakki Charles, Byron Garcia, Bryan Bickers, Annalucia Chloe Mauclair

Every one surround the sick person in the middle, every one gets in formation, all begin canting, the ritual starts.

                                                                              Water Ritual

                                                                                                                                      John Martinez, Carolina Bello, Vivi Jimenez

We gather all surrounding water; put water in the center of the circle (on the magical water chair); clap hands in a rhythmic motion to summon the rain gods; return water to their original sources. All of this with the purpose of appeasing the rain gods for a good harvest.

  1. I didn't know how many rituals were part of our daily lives that we might not even notice as we do them until this class. It was a great class because we were exposed to different meanings of a passage in one's life.

  2. Another wonderful class session this was! We were able to create our own rituals while having fun doing it. Most definitely learned a lot with this activity.
