Drama

Fun with Drama

Drama is a useful tool for building confidence and increasing Self-Awareness.

When you engage in drama exercises, you are increasing the level of endorphins in your body. Endorphins are feel-good-chemicals which start in the brain and move through your nervous system.

Always start a drama session by waking up the body and mind.

Some examples are:

  • Playing with hoops
  • Breath work
  • Voice work
  • Improvising with hats
  • Exploring emotions using emojis as a stimuli
  • Developing themed tableaux [frozen pictures which tell a story]

The women involved with ‘Journey to Wellness’ worked on adapting four scenes from the play ‘7 Found Hats.’

The four scenes are included here. 

In scene 1: They are returning from Carnival when they come across a box of hats in the middle of the street.

At the heart of improvisation; role play and character building is laughter. We laughed a lot in these sessions.
