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.
Jennifer Gray taught drama at arts magnet schools in Nashville for thirteen years before she pursued a career teaching and directing theatre abroad. She received her theatre training at Northwestern University, New York University, and Vanderbilt University. Her doctoral research and life-long interest in creativity development continues to inform her work with young people. Gray is the founding director of both Arkansas Arts Centers' Children’s Theatre and the Imaginers Theatre Company.
