Drama Dialog

 Hello everyone!

In Drama we have been starting to create a play that can tell a story. We had to include characters, roles,  a problem, a way of showing the audience  your emotions, a costume to show how the character would look , props, and music. Some of  us used a dialog already made and others made their own. The majority of the class did theirs about bullies but my group did a romantic comedy. My group hasn't  got a title for it yet but we are still adding more lines to make it more interesting. The main characters are Rose Ainsley and Zakey Evans which are played by me (Jordan)  and Hollie.  The two other roles are the Duke and Agea played by Amanda and Venice. Venice and I are also the shop owners at the moment. 

Have you ever been in a play?  What would you include in a play if you had to make one?

Here is some images of what we've done:

Acting in Drama

Hey Readers!

This week in drama we have been acting out our performance in front of our little drama group. We firstly thought about what we would be doing during our performance and how we would do it. My group which was Amanda, Hollie, Venice and I, choose to act out us watching a movie and our little sister spills some popcorn. Next we started practising our little act, at first we were a little bit nervous but at one point we felt more comfortable and memorised what we were doing. 

The part I was doing was walking into a room then trying to steal remote to change the channel, then my sister steals it back from me changing it back to the movie, Hollie got the popcorn, Amanda was a cranky little sister and threw the popcorn, Venice was the Mum making the pop corn for us kids and gets mad at us. I enjoyed doing that performance I learnt how to do a small role that makes the performance even more interesting. We also had to pick our music my group choose run rabbit to go with our act well we were on stage acting out the performance. Have you ever acted out a character in a drama performance?

Here is our performance:

Bird Masks ( Drama)

 Hey Readers!

In drama we have been making bird masks and acting like birds. We have also been starting to learn about the movement and emotions. Next we got into groups of four or three and thought about the movements, the people in my group were ... Hollie. E, Venice, Amanda and me.

 We all had to think about our movement plan and how we would move around the space then act out with each other. Since me and Hollie were both flightless birds we started acting out first, then Amanda and Venice came around us with their movements and sounds. Venice is a barn owl for her act, Amanda is a We had also finished our masks already so we didn't need to do anything around that. But next time I need to add some elastic to make it fit my head. Have you ever experienced acting before?

Here is Hollie and my bird mask mine is the penguin Hollie's is the kiwi.

Year 7/8 drama

Ni hoa ( hello)  Readers this year the year 7/8 have been learning how to do drama and the movements in drama. We learn't some games that help us with the movement in drama, the first game we learn't how to play was 16/16 circle were we take 16 steps turn and do a certain amount of steps then turn again and once we finish doing all the steps we turn to the middle.  Another game was listening to what the teacher says then doing the movements, what we did was jump, walk, clap, and freeze. Yesterday we had to get into groups of four (my group was Amanda, Hollie, Venice and me), get each other into a diamond shape then Mrs Clark ( drama teacher) told people from each part of the diamond to do a certain movement everyone in the groups had to copy the leader. Each person in the groups got at least two turns, once all the groups got the hang of it we had to create any dance but it the diamond shape we had to rotate to an edge to be able to lead our group we had 10 minutes to make the dance and make sure we knew what to do. My group went second to last we choose our music and started, I started the dance and my group followed the movements I did I sort of forgot what moves I was supposed to do so I made it up on the spot. Once we finished our dance Hollie and my group went down the stairs together and went to go sit down. Have you ever experienced drama?

Here is something my drama group had to look at:
