While I was chowing down on my scrumptious breakfast like I hadn’t eaten in months the leaders of the camp explained to us with big grins on their faces that could not be trusted what was going to happen today “Alright everyone today we will have a relax day so we will walk to the market have some free time there, come back and play some fun mini games and…” I swore their grins got even bigger like the joker had just killed batman “We will be doing a theatre night!” “Uuggghhhhh,” chorused every single poor unfortunate soul in the room. I was alright with a theatre night since I had some experience in drama club but there was no way in hell I was going to perform in front of everyone. The day went along very quickly and smoothly without any incidents which was an achievement when it came to us. The markets were pretty cool with all the shops, I got a slushy and some subway with my money and I hung out with new friends. When we all got back from the markets we separated into our own groups and started a day of fun! We played 5 games in total which included the shaving the shaving cream off the ballon trying not to pop it, building a shelter out newspaper and testing it out with water, playing tag but with water balloons, blindfolding a partner and taking them on a obstacle course and trying to untangle a long piece of rope. After all the games we decided to have a lunch break and then we were off as a team to plan and practice for our performance of a life time. I sat
The second day we went to Hayward Wisconsin and there were shops. Megan and I got matching bright tye dye shirts that we wear like every day now so they get good use. We went pokemon hunting and caught a lot of pokeballs around us. Also at one store Megan decided to buy a ball the “bounce on water” which megan spent ten dollars on just a normal ball.
The set used for Vernon God Little was highly symbolic and simplistic; when we walked into the theatre we could visually see that there were flowers, cards and memorable items attached on the audiences seats above our heads, which already created a sombre atmosphere around the theatre.
It was still morning when we got there so we had all day to play and mess around. When we got all the stuff out the car we went to go find a spot. While we were looking we were already so excited, anyways when we found a spot we put some blankets on the floor, set our chairs up, and put all the food on the tables. Us kids all went to the bathrooms
Above all, I wouldn’t be where I am today without theatre. Without the chance to perform throughout my life, I would be disconnected from the wide array of communities and histories that’s been imbedded in my daily routine. Unfortunately, it’s speculated that the theatre is a dying art form, because of the expanding popularities of movies (“Is”), but I think that it’ll remain a well renowned part of expressing imagination and interpreting history as years pass; it only takes cooperation with school faculty and young students that go above and beyond to change their

When we arrived we did not have one day of rest, and the next day after arriving we had the game, which we lost. It was a great game for me, even though we lost. The next day, however, was great because I get my first home run and we won that game. We were all very happy that day. We got to go to the pool of the hotel and after I spend sometimes with my teammates thee coaches took us to eat quality food at a restaurant.
The next day we had a celebration because we won our first game. We ate out
It was a calm night around 12 o 'clock to be exact . we was sitting in the gym waiting on the bus to get here, the driver finally pulled up. We loaded the bus and took off. We stopped by daylight donuts for a little snack then we sailed off we stopped at various of food places it took us approximately maybe 9 to 10 hours to get there once we arrived in berea Kentucky we went to the hotel and took maybe 1 to 2 hours of sleep before we had to go play. we play in the uscaa north / south battle field classic at berea college at 7pm we played 2 team that day i can 't recall their name, but we won one lost one after we played we went back to the hotel and took a shower and went to the mall and saw perfect guy. the movie was very good, after the movie we grabbed a bite to eat and went back to the hotel for rest because we had a early game and tuff team to play.
Rehearsal was starting soon, everyone was coming in, milling around, sitting down in the chairs in the theater, and the subject was sitting in a group of 5-8 middle children and early adolescents who were all standing and sitting around, and sometimes coming and going. All of the children in this group were female. They were talking about their hairstyles for the show, and then later on of the girls started talking about animals. Occasionally, the subject would throw in her two cents about something. A peer sitting diagonally across from the subject took out a sketchbook, and some of the other early adolescent girls were looking on and laughing while she talked about it and showed it off. The subject looked on, laughing and smiling,
The crew sets up the stage, you can hear the quiet rambles of the audience, The music starts as the curtain whirls open. That rush you get of being on stage, or putting a production together or just being in the audience and seeing it, is an unexplainable thrill. In my opinion I think think that Freshman should join Theatre because you can meet lots of new people, be apart of many activities of the school and is very entertaining.
Ashley and I were up in the performance on the first and third day, and then the last day for the short go if we qualify. Our first go in the team roping was a success we placed 2nd place to earn a go round buckles. We participated in the mud volleyball tournament which the state of California got 2nd place in. Our second go of team roping was a success. The performance started 3 hours late this day because there was a problem with the pole bending that was happening in the small arena next to the big arena. We sat in the baking sun on our horses waiting and waiting when finally the performance was starting. We took second place again in the team roping putting us first place in the average going into the short go. We celebrated with dinner at the local chinese restaurant which we got lost trying to find.
It was an overall great experience! - We played video games, ate many delicious pieces of pizza, drank chocolate milk without pinkies’ up - because we’re fancy! And eventually, we finally sat down and watched Netflix - more specifically, Scary Movie - and scarred Sarah Grace for life!
Our choice to tell stories should exist in the same moment that we identify an audience who needs to hear that story – now, in this context, in this time, and in this medium. The best relationship with an audience begins dramaturgically, at the beginning of a rehearsal process. We must ask: How can we keep our minds open to the audience we have and also to the audience we want and the audience with whom we hope to collaborate? How do we enter a community and work with new people, learn from them and hope they learn from us? Partner with our similar goals and share resources. Work with them and never for them. Theatre isn’t a service—it’s a
“In roughly built playhouses and cobblestone inn yards, an extraordinary development took place in England in the 1500s.” (Yancey, 8). At that time, an opportunity combined to produce literature achievement never before witnessed in the history of drama and theater. The renaissance, helped spark this movement by inspiring scientific and artistic creativity throughout the land. Models began writing dramas that portrayed life in both realistic and imaginative ways. This created work later captured the attention of the world that changed the English drama. The many aspects of Elizabethan theater helped to shape the acting and theater world forever.
Despite the claim that Drama in Education ( DIE) as a pedagogy dimmed its popularity in the Western world since 1990 until 2016 (Gallagher, et al. , 2017), in the year of 2011, Morrow, et al. included it as one of the best practices in literacy instruction. Some of the teachers who had the experience of trying process drama in their classrooms found that the pedagogy improved students’ participations, pushed students to use their imaginations, performed deeper understanding of the topics being learned and made the students learn to have empathy ( Long, 1998). Do the voices from the classroom resemble to what researchers and theories have to say on process drama?
