Hello Actors and Parents…I decided to begin writing this blog to ensure that communication is good between all of us. On this blog I will post updates on what we have been working on and what I plan on working on in the coming weeks.
The first three weeks of class have been great! Your kids are beginning to work in the world of theatre and I think it is safe to say that they are having a good time.
Drama I: They have been working on some drama games that help them begin to gain confidence in themselves as performers. Games like alphabet charades, animal charades, zip zap zop, pantomime, mirroring and during the last class these young actors blew the biggest bubbles with their imaginary gum you have ever seen! They are doing great!
They can work on the following warm up to keep their annunciation going:
Lips, teeth tip of the tongue.
They repeat this faster and faster until they can’t do it any more.
Drama II: Much like the younger actors my Drama II students have been playing games that help them gain self confidence. In addition to great games we have been working on breathing as well. Breathing if a fundamental need for any actor and by developing this solid foundation they are going to be ahead of so many other performers at their age.
They can work on the following vocal warm up:
MA
NA
LA
THA
VA
ZA
They repeat the words over and over faster and faster.
I will try to keep this updated each week with new info and to repot on what your children are learning.
