THE NATE MOVIE, on "Same In Blues" by Langston Hughes, interpreted by participants in the National Association of Teachers of English Workshop, Warwick, England, April 4, 2008. This movie illustrates the power of re-presentation, as we layerd the poem with successive interpretations through design choices about voice, tableau, juxtaposed quotations, and the text itself to author a quicktime video of the poem.
