Imagine that you and your friends are playing in a music band at school. You have various instruments such as drums, flutes, and even objects that are not musical instruments but make different sounds. Describe how you would use these instruments and objects to create a song. What sounds would each one make? How would you organize the rhythms and melodies? Remember, there are no right or wrong answers, we just want to hear your creative ideas!

In the context of contemporary theater, dramaturgy often intertwines with other forms of artistic expression, such as technology and social issues. Considering a theatrical play that addresses contemporary themes and uses innovative staging elements, such as audiovisual projections and digital interactions, propose and justify how you, as a playwright, would integrate these elements to enrich the narrative and the audience's experience, while maintaining the essence of the theatrical text and avoiding mere 'technologization' of the show. Additionally, provide a critical analysis of how this integration could impact the audience's perception and the reception of the work in the current social and cultural context, considering your personal vision and knowledge acquired throughout your learning and reflection process on contemporary theater.

When we clap or sing, we are producing sounds with our body. Now, think about the different types of sounds we can make using our hands and mouth. Additionally, some people can also play musical instruments or create music by drumming on boxes and drums with their hands. Therefore, based on what you have learned about sound sources and experimenting with making different sounds with your body, describe a game that you could invent using the sounds your body is capable of producing. What would this game be like? What rules and objectives would you include for children to have fun and learn about sounds and rhythm at the same time? Explain in detail.

João and Maria are learning about rhythm and melody in their Art class. They have discovered that the games of 'Tug of War' and 'Hot Potato' can help understand these musical concepts. By pulling the rope in 'Tug of War', the children realize that the force exerted and the rhythm of the pulls can be compared to a music, where intensity and tempo are essential. In the game of 'Hot Potato', where a hot potato is passed from hand to hand until the music stops, they notice that the speed at which the potato is passed resembles the concept of melody, which is the succession of sounds organized at different pitches. Considering these games, explain how João and Maria can apply the principles of rhythm and melody during a round of 'Hot Potato' to create a 'music' with the game's rules. Think about how the variation in speed and the organization of passing the potato can represent musical elements and describe a 'music measure' based on this adaptation of the traditional game.
