Scenario Performance is a relatively new Future Problem Solving component with the inaugural competition at the 2015 International Conference. Scenario Performance (ScP) was designed by FPSP Australia to develop and sustain the oral tradition of storytelling. Essentially, ScP is for students who enjoy storytelling.
This option is ideally suited to students who show thinking abilities in different ways - particularly for those whose cultural heritage and/or learning styles prefer oral communication. It is also ideal for developing the thinking skills of students.
The stories do not have to be written; rather they are "told" or "performed." ScP is about storytelling, as opposed to story writing, using a story outline that has been developed in a creative and entertaining manner by the student prior to the performance.
In Scenario Performance, students use the FPS annual topics as the basis for their ideas. From these topics, they choose one that interests them, think about how it might have changed twenty years into the future, and then create their story. This story is not written out in full, as it is going to be "told," and should be more "natural" and "spontaneous" in nature.
