Very Interesting ; those drama activities are very helpful & fun 😊. I'm doing it in theatre class ; my theatre class & I loved it
As an educator and pretty competent acting teacher for teens this video, although made in 2014, is heart rendering to watch. In the states it's almost impossible to get non-privileged youth to do any of these things. Average youngster lives in a "culture of fear", and a distorted test-centered reality where none of this has any meaning in their lives. Trying to play actor's games is akin to trying to extract teeth. And the fact that this acting teacher was a dude is even more amazing. In New York almost all of the acting teachers I have seen for youth are women for obvious reasons. It's shear madness. I am honored my friends took their children home to raise them in Ireland. Things are just not up to scratch as far as I'm concerned.
No one can play LARGER THAN LIFE characters anymore because STEREOTYPING ANYONE is "RACIST".
@@MsElke11 That is 100% not what the comment you're responding is about, yikes! You don't have to do a heavy-handed BORING racial caricature to be larger than life, if the only character you can think of is a racial stereotype, that just speaks to your lack of creativity. These students did amazingly and not a single one of them was based on race.
What a fantastic class!
Ima disagree with that one. They weren't very creative with their characters. Lol
Thanks for your lovely comments, Robert. If you find any particularly fabulous three course combinations, please share them at dramamenu.com/suggest-a-menu/. I hope you continue to enjoy the book!

Ever heard of ENCORE SCHOOL OF PERFORMING ARTS
Thet are crazy

i stopped watching when they walked through the 'bus'
It's an acting game to help the students learn how to improvise. When a new character gets on everyone has to find a reason to inflict the same emotion (at least that's the rule in my classes). It's not reaching for realism, it's just a way to show students this concept and have them practice it. So yes, they walked through the bus, otherwise, the students did well and it's a good game concept.
Yeah, the OCD part of me was annoyed as well. Lol. Plus they weren't super creative. Still a great activity.
@@siena1169 Yup. That's understood. Still fun to critique it. Lol. Some of us are the types of people who meticulously put cookie trays together and get upset with ourselves when gorgeous cakes we make aren't perfect. I'm a weirdo.
