This was a fabulous session! The students were
110% engaged and had a ball through the entire
workshop. I highly recommend this session to any
teacher looking for new drama activities. After the
presentation, the students wanted to continue the
drama and do the activities again.

performance, step out of their comfort zones, and build

classes. This hour lesson will include introductions to the
art form, expectations & acting tips, drama games and a
follow-up activity for the teacher to use at their discretion
(junior and intermediate).

to inspire students to use their creative writing skills to
express themselves and to explore the art of writing a
screenplay that could serve as the foundation for film or
