and Dance

Drama is about conflict, involving situations in which someone wants something, but someone or something else makes that difficult to attain. This session will share an improvisational theatre game that can be played in the classroom. The game will introduce the concept of dramatic conflict and sharpen participants' mental agility and persuasive powers, while generating dialogue for drama or written work. It is appropriate for students in grade four and higher.
