As the year progress, I aim to add a bit more about what we do day-to-day.

Jr. Drama: Playing "Minefield" to practice clear communication, teamwork, and using stage directions!

Teams guided their blindfolded teammates through the obstacles. The team had to call out instructions using stage directions: upstage, downstage, left and right -- that is, the actor's (blindfolded person's) left and right!

Jr Drama: Choreographing mock sword fights to prepare for Shakespeare Dramatic Reading performance

After a short workshop on fight choreography safety, practicing falling, and a learning few combat moves (advance, retreat, lunge, high, low, revers, bas...) students choreographed and presented mock fights with foam swords.
