May already?!


Very start of May. Can you believe it? I can’t! 

So it has been four weeks since we officially had our first ever drama class! We have been busy devising, singing, dancing and doing lots of improvisation too. 

The kids favourite thing to do right now is improvise a scene out of a title I give them. I use song titles, they can be hilarious at times. I explained the difference of devising and improvising to them as they loved planning things too much, where as improv you need to listen and work off each other and its exciting as you don’t know what someone is going to do next, but you go along with it. 

Improv should be easy, as everyone does it every single day of their life, however people always feel pressured to be good all the time and not make mistakes, wrong! Everyone makes mistakes and in improve this sometimes can be the funny part of the scene. 

We now love Improvising and devising is no longer a rushed thing, I tell them you have time to think about the characters and what you want to happen in the scene, it's not improv!
