Dramazing Drama Classes
These age based programs include all the usual experiences you would expect from a children's drama class including theatre sports, games, movement, projection, articulation, improvisation, characterisations, and performance. The element that makes the Dramazing Social Drama programs unique is that along with regular dramatic education, children perform and create plays which teach a specific positive social message relevant to their age group (e.g. Inclusivity, self esteem building, handling bullying, making positive choices and avoiding peer pressure etc).
How The Drama Class Runs In Schools
The Drama Social Skill program is run in much the same way as any outsourced specialist program such as a music program. The school is required to provide little more than a regular space for the classes and will receive the benefits of offering the school community a valuable opportunity to develop social skills. The classes run as an after school activity group.
Classes are multiage from grades 1-6. Maximum class sizes are 20 students.
Over a year students will:
-engage in physical, creative, and team based theatrical games.
-learn to display and interpret emotion and expression using voice and physical signals.
-be a part of creating and exploring playwriting, contributing their ideas to team and group productions.
-develop, explore, personalise and present characters.
-learn lines and stage cues to be a full and active member of a group production.
