Theatrical stillness

While reading this section, I was reminded of the still standing tableaux in the Ziegfeld Follies show. They did a lot of still standing poses, creating pictures and stories because it was less riske.

There is a lot of power in the still standing picture. And with the exploration of avant garde movement, taking still standing a little bit further by using slow moving transitions created a powerful image.

It's a different way of movement and creating a message still by....being still! This also reminds me of an improv game that I really love called "slide show" you use still standing pictures and two people will explain the meaning of the slides, always a fun game to play.
