Nov 23 2022 Body Movement Theatre Games

Attendance. Taken by TA's Michelle and Lumi.

Reminders: No students to be in the sound/lighting room, teacher office OR backstage. EVER. All students to sit on the floor either on stage in a circle or audience style in front of the couches. 

Warm Up. (Circle - Body warm up stretch) 

Body Movement Theatre Games.

1. Theatre Sports - ONE WORD Story Time "Once Upon A Time" (3-4 groups of 5-6 TA's to select groups)

We did a version of this last day. However, this time each group member can only say 1 word to add to the story.

Instructions:

This can be played in a small group or large group. The teacher starts the story with one sentence (i.e., “Once upon a time, there was a princess who dreamed of being an astronaut”). Moving clockwise around the circle, each student adds one word to the story. The circle is repeated as many times as the teacher deems necessary until they feel the story is finished.


2. Greetings Your Majesty

The teacher selects one student to sit in a chair and face away from the rest of the group. Ask the student in the chair to close their eyes. Select three students from the remaining group and have each one take a turn standing behind the chair and saying, “Greetings, your majesty” in whatever voice they like. Once all three students have gone, the student in the chair must guess who each one was.

3. TA's Selection OR GraveKeeper or Categories (TA's Know)

Gravekeeper

The teacher selects one person to be a gravekeeper, and they stand off to the side. The other students lie on their backs on the ground with their eyes open. They must stay completely still, with a straight face. The gravekeeper’s job is to go around and try to make each person laugh or speak using only acting. They are not allowed to touch the person on the ground. Anyone they succeed at making laugh is alive again and joins the gravekeeper in going around and trying to make the other students laugh or speak.

This should bring you to the end of class. 

*Possible - practice - Radio Plays.

Dec 8 2022 Last Day for Radio Play Rehearsal

Last Day for Radio Play Rehearsal - sound effects to be completed.  To End: Dude! Players stand in a circle and look down or close their eyes.  Someone counts to three and everyone must look up at someone eyes.  If anyone makes contact, they are to say "Dude" and take a seat.  A variation of this is instead of saying "Dude", they pretend to die dramatically.  Elimination continues until everyone is out. Possibly - Wink Murder or  Clump:  Split class in half. Half on couches and half to activity. Then switch. Participants walk around the stage space. I will call out a number. Students - you need to try to get into groups of that number. Any participant that does not make it into the group - is - out of the game. OR Re-Do  Wax Museum/Night Watchman For Night Watchman, one person is designated as it (the Night Watchman) and everyone else will play as a wax statue.  The Night Watchman will cover their eyes and count to 10 while everyone else stri...
