Grade 7 Scripted Drama
七年级:剧本戏剧
The Grade 7 Theatre trimester one students performed their Reader’s Theatre adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Julius Caeser.” The Grade 7 students having explored the different ways to improve their creative processes through improvisation and mime (body awareness) now learn the structures and practices to help them perform comedic roles in a scripted Drama play. This assignment was to engage the students in performing a scripted performance to showcase their talents as actors and improve their ability to perform to the public using strong vocal projection, good mime and effective storytelling and transforming into different characters wherever possible using aspects of melodrama and comedy. The focus was to become a ‘community of artists’ and to practice emotive reading by changing your emotional tones to match the words you are reading. Words can still be funny (even if everyone dies at the end of your play!)
