what is tableau vivant?

tableau vivant is a static scene of one or more actors or models, who are silent and stationary. The actors or models are normally in costume and carefully posed, in a dramatic way, to tell a narrative.

Above are the ideas I like for tableau vivant. The photographs I have annotated ‘+’ are from photographers I am interested in as the look at gender roles and lack of identity. I will also look more into these photographers too.
