Act 2 Scene 1 and 2

Yesterday was our second day of our drama workshop.   We learned how to use only our bodies and not our voices to act out different situations.  We used masks so that we wouldn't be tempted to talk.  We loved putting the masks on!  The were white and made us all look the same.  We laughed when we first put them on but we quickly got focused again.  The masks made us really focus on our actions rather than using words to get our message across. 

Some of the things we had to act out were:  washing a dog, shopping, feeding animals, walking through a swamp, building a sandcastle, doing laundry, making a snowman and so much more!  The last thing we did was create a group scene.  This was LOTS of fun.  Mrs. Betts thought we did an amazing job!  Some of us pretended we were on a roller coaster, some of us were filming a movie, some of us were stranded in a desert and were looking for water and some of us were watching a TV show.  It was hard not to talk during the scenes but having the masks on really helped us.

Today was our final drama workshop!  It was another fantastic experience. It was all about improv -making stories and scenes up on the spot!  Some of us were very good at this!  

Thank you to our PAC for giving us the opportunity to take part in such a rich experience.
