The drama class would start with ‘warm ups’ both for voice and body. This will be followed by theatre games focusing on different aspects of drama, including story, characters and plot. The children will be working both in groups and individually. Each lesson will have group improvisations, where the children will be put in groups and asked to devise and then perform a short scene. Attending The Flip Flop Theatre Group can give children a real opportunity to gain confidence and ‘a voice’ to express themselves. Drama can encourage and develop their creative skills. In this type of theatre group there is learning, but more importantly, ‘participating’ in drama and acting. It’s also a great opportunity for the students to express themselves in both comedy and drama with the others in the group. END OF YEAR PERFORMANCE
From the end of term three onwards the class will consist of auditions, then rehearsals for the end of year play. The play will be held in the final class, at the end of term four. All parents and friends will be welcome to attend. TIMETABLES
