Drama Club (Thursday)
Students will have fun expressing themselves and their creativity through engaging in drama activities.
The program will consist of drama games and exercises, improvisation and role-play, and possible basic character development through scene/script work. Drama games, improv, and role-play will help the students to increase their ease and comfort “on stage”, while developing their ability to access and focus their performance creativity and put it into action.
