World of drama, whether you're a beginner or have some experience.
What is the Drama Club?
The Drama Club is a
creative community where participants can immerse themselves in all aspects of
theatre. Our journey begins with preparing our bodies, fostering trust, and
building self-confidence. In Module 2, we'll explore the "3 P's of a scene:
People, Place, and Problem." Module 3 will focus on our most important
instrument - our body, and how to communicate without words. Module 4 will
involve working with text, and finally, in Module 5, we'll create small scenes
and potentially perform them for a small audience.
Module

character development, status & relationships, and classic character
archetypes. "Place" explores spatial awareness, object work, and using the
imaginary environment as inspiration. "Problem" emphasizes scene structure,
objectives & obstacles, and the journey of conflict resolution.

physical expression. The module will end with the playful and transformative
experience of the red nose, allowing participants to explore character and
emotion in new, liberating ways .

rehearsal to fully prepare for their final presentations.
