Hathorn Drama 8!

1. Teacher Intro: So sorry guys - I am still very very very sick. I hope to be back with you ASAP. Hopefully by mid or end of the week. 

Please feel free to review our class outline/syllabus HERE. 

2. Quick intro to initial Drama Room rules (via Ms. Browning Senior Drama Teacher - Department Head).

TTOC (or TA's) to review the below:

*No touching or playing with ANY props or costumes EVER unless directed.

*No entry to the audio/lighting mini room unless invited to do so by a teacher or TA.

*No entry to backrooms or upstairs area unless invited to do so by a teacher or TA.

*No sitting on couches (only on the floor please) until further notice. 

*No phones EVER in the space.

*No filming or taking photos in the space unless invited to do so by a teacher or TA and with permission provided to you by the person you wish to film/take a photo of.

*The drama room is a safe space. We all must work to ensure it remains as such. Therefore all rules as noted above must be adhered to at all times. 

2. Introduction Game: Michelle will introduce the intro game activity. 

TP activity. All students to be in a circle on the drama room main floor - students to take between 1-5 pieces of toilet paper. Students will then say their name and depending on how many pieces of toilet paper they have - state between 1-5 interesting things about themselves to the group. E.g. interests, how many siblings, favourite hobbies etc. 

3. Next Up: First drama activity - Group Work - 

Split class into 2 or 3 groups (max group size should be between 7-8 students). 

TASK: Students - you will be creating a 'machine' with your whole group. Each student in the group will be a PART of the machine. 

One student can be the student to turn the machine on if your group would like and one student can be the end-product (at the end) which is created. End-product created can be anything you would like! No props to be used - just a student!

Each part of the machine (the students) should each have a motion and a sound that is created once the full machine is turned on. 

Students should be given around 15-20 min to 'create' their machine. TA's please supervise and assist each group as required. 

If Time - Each group to present their machine at the end of the class to the other students. If not enough time students can present their machine next class!

During performances/showings - This is where students CAN sit on the couches to view each group's performance!
