What an awesome visit!
I feel like the students are finally
starting to put the elements of drama together. I started my visits by
reinforcing the definition of drama: Telling a story using our body and voice.
Then, we experimented with a variety of ways we can use our bodies and our
voices to communicate character. Now, with these lessons on subtexts, students
are starting to understand how body and character can also communicate meaning.
The students had so much fun watching all of the content-less
scenes, because so many students were assigned the same script but with
different relationships. They loved seeing how different choices could make the
meaning of the script completely different. I’m also really impressed with the
way every group of students embraced the scenes and PERFORMED! Almost none of
the students were half-hearted in their performance, which was awesome to see.
