“Thinking cannot be clear till it has had expression. We must write, or speak, or act our thoughts, or they will remain in a half torpid form. Our feelings must have expression, or they will be as clouds, which, till they descend as rain, will never bring up fruit or flower. So it is with the inward feelings; expression gives them development.” Henry Ward Beecher
OVERVIEW
In this course students will be exploring performance and expressive skills needed to perform meaningful and engaging drama. Incorporating both whole-class and small group activities, this unit encourages and empowers students to participate in verbal and non-verbal exercises in the form of skits, play extracts and theatre-sports games. The class content aims to aid in building confidence to perform alone and to work collaboratively with others on devised, scripted and improvised performances. In learning the art of scriptwriting and storytelling, students will gain insight into how performance can impact an audience and be used for God’s glory; telling His story in powerful, creative and interactive ways.
