SECOND DAY OF CAMP

 06 July 21

DRAMA CLUB

We began the day talking about improvisation and Viola Spolin. We revisited games today and we learned how to play, "Alien, Tiger, Cow". 

There was already excitement in the air about playing outside in water. Once we were outside there were two pools. A still pool and a wavy pool. The outdoor fan worked really well at keeping the bugs away.



We played another statue game while in the water! 



And then we played a character-building game, ALSO in the water. 



This was tricky for some of us because we wanted to know our character going in. And, sometimes it's hard to hear other people's ideas about what they see. 




Especially when it's not what we want them to see. But, we are working on it. 





Most of us went inside for lunch. But, some of us stayed outside and played in the water for a little while longer while we ate our lunch. 

One of the things we could have done better today would have been to drink more water. Some of us just kind of felt wiped out in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, we played more Zip Zap Zop and Sherlock. We also took direction in silly ways and then we worked to build our own Fairy Tale. This is how we began to learn stage directions. Most of us don't like the Fairy Tale genre though. We like Anime and Horror. So, today was a challenge in Drama Club but it was still fun.

Miss Carol and Miss Robin and Miss Paula, AND EVEN MORE AMAZING WOMEN, were there today and they gave us lemon Italian ice. Miss Deb and Miss Amy led the theatre portion of the day.




Tomorrow we are going to learn about stage directions and a little about the Elizabethan era that goes along with it. 


We have another word search if you would like to play.

FIRST DAY OF CAMP!!

05 July 2021 DRAMA CLUB Today was so much fun!! Everyone was ready to jump right in and play. It usually takes a couple of days to warm up into things. We are brave and strong and talented! Today, we worked with Miss Deb, Miss Amy, and Jess at Drama Club. Students had already made tie-dyed shirts with Miss Paula and Miss Carol and there would be even more to do AFTER Drama Club too! We all introduced ourselves. We let each other know what our interests were and what we loved to do. We also automatically worked together as a team. We did a name dance.   After that, we talked about observation and journaling . And then we each got two different journals. A large one for our desktop work and a small one for on-the-road observations. We learned that theatre is really about experience, and experiencing. And so we journaled about what it would be like to experience our most awesome amusement park ride.  After that, we played a fun game of Sherlock inside. Sherlock is a lot about...

 We did it!! We had a great day. We began with Emmaline doing vocal warm-ups and Genevieve doing game warm-ups. The floor became lava and everything was fun.  So many supportive friends and family members came out! As well as mentors and volunteers. Between rehearsal and performance, we also were able to meet Miss Deb's dog, Ziggy! The weather was a little warmer today than it's been all week, but the breeze was so nice! After the show some family members found nice shade! Ledo's donated another pizza to our camp for lunch!! After lunch, we got into costume and makeup.  Rutiq and Sip at C Street Flats donated croissants and sandwiches and chips.  Thanks so much to our audience and to everyone who contributed to the 2021 Drama Club camp!
