It's cold outside, but the students at Orrington and Park are keeping warm by playing drama games! At Orrington, primary classes are exploring pantomime and improvisation with Snow Play, Wax Museum, Saying Hello, Animal Transformations, and other fun experiences. Intermediate classes are challenging their thinking and creativity as students transform into characters during Bus Stop and I Got This Present for You. Over the next few weeks, in preparation for the Brother hood assembly in February, fifth grade students will focus on several Langston Hughes poems. Through movement, pantomime, tableau, and improvisation we will develop an understanding of his work and create movement pieces about it. This should be an exciting process!
At Park we have been using stories to drive our creative process. We warm up with yoga and gentle stretching, experience free movement with music, create a dramatic response to a story, wrap it up with parachute games or free movement. My goal is to provide sensory experiences and opportunities for every student to participate and engage.
