After-school Drama Lesson

Hi girls,

This week, you have to do a video, that is introducing yourself to the class. It has to be a video, the script has to be written on the draft writing paper and has to be published on a Word document (Send the document and video as an attachment). Please include your name on the Word document and the title of your video has to be "_______ (< your name) Life. All assignments should be sent to Miss Angie at academyfordolls@gmail.com . Please have your assignment published and sent to me by December 19th, and I look forward to reading and grading your assignments.

Now, onto the lesson:

For this week and next week, we are going to continue learning about Expressive Skills in Drama. As a review, we know Expressive Skills are: 

  • Voices
  • Facial Expression 
  • Movement
  • Gesture (Small Movement) 
This week, our focus is on Facial Expression:

Facial expressions occur as a result of small muscle movements in the face and are crucial for the actor. While we must always be aware that the face is the most expressive part of the body, we must also ensure that we act with our ensure we act with our entire body, not just our heads. Facial expressions must come naturally or they will look artificial if overdone and ineffective if underdone. 

In two weeks, you will be given a test about all the things we have learnt about Expressive Skills, so I suggest you take notes on draft writing paper for when you do the exam, so you are ready and prepared.
