Drama Game: Quick Change

  • Seated in a circle.
  • Choose one student to be the “changer”. Let the class study his/her appearance for 1
  • second.
  • Ask the “changer” to leave the room out of sight
  • • While out of sight the “changer” must change three things about his/her appearance (pull a sock down, change watch from one wrist to another, unbutton a button, etc.)
  • When the student enters, the class must figure out what three things changed.
  • Continue this for several rounds.
  • •We must train ourselves to notice the little things. These little things will add up to help us create unique characters.

Reflection

Reflection

When I say “action”, A is going to move very slowly, and B is to closely “reflect” every movement

Pair the students up and have them assign one person an “A” and another a “B”

“Reflection” to notice not only body movements, but facial expressions as well

The pairs face each other.

Partners switch.

Choose two pairs who you think are the best “reflections”.

Drama Game: Slow Motion Emotion

Three students to take the stage. Have the students draw an emotion from the bowl.• As you slowly count down from 10 to 1, they are to gradually put thatemotion in their bodies and their faces • Have the class guess which emotion they chose and reflect on whatgave away that emotion
