The Drama Academy meets every Tuesday during ECA time for 1 hour. There were 9 sessions in Term 1. The boys spent 4 sessions learning theatrical skills such as voice projection, facial expressions, intonation in speech and gestures.
In week 5, I introduced an adapted script of "Jack and the Beanstalk" to them. From auditions, casting, reading and memorizing the script, designing & making the backdrops, hunting for costumes to rehearsals, dress rehearsals and finally filming the final production, we did all these things within 5 sessions (5hours!!) With the limited budget and time that we had I am incrediably proud of the boys' efforts and dedication to the production. I can see they have all excelled in their acting. Their growing confidence is most evident.
We are now in the process of putting the video of the final production together. I look forward to sharing their moment of stardom with you all in the new year!
I wish you all a most meaningful Christmas and an exciting new year!! Enjoy the holidays with loved ones but kids, do remember to spend time on studying for your mid-year exams! I wish you all the best!
