  Drama: Play Creation

  Let’s develop and adapt a tale or fable and bring it to life for our family and friends! Together, we’ll study and analyze a story as we learn to identify characters, feelings, conflict, plot twists and turns and uncover the moral of the story and how it relates to our lives, all while creating our own play.  We’ll learn some grounding and focusing exercises and some fun theater games too, to help us with character development and theatrical expression. Students will learn lines and how to follow stage directions. This class promotes communication, collaboration, self-confidence and creativity. We’ll present our play for family and friends on the last day of class, December 9.
