PARENT REMINDER!
When school is out, so is Drama Kids! No classes will be held over Winter Break. We'll see you back in class in the new year!
Here at Drama Kids, we love to shine a spotlight on our awesome students and the amazing talents they bring to class every week!
This week's student spotlights are...
Jacob Shell    As a Director, Jacob asks for everyone's ideas to ensure that each scene shows a piece of all actors' flavor.  He is a fantastic team player, always making sure that everyone feels heard and included! As an Actor, he uses his whole body and voice to portray strong characters!

Christian Jones    Christian is kind-hearted and loving to everyone!  He perseveres through hard work with a smile on his face!

Berkley Hoover    Berkley has amazing energy and uses her entire body along with HUGE facial expressions to show what her character is thinking and feeling throughout each scene!
Connor Lydick    Connor is able to take on any role requested while still adding his creative flair! One of the comedian's greatest tools is to keep a straight face, which Connor can do even while his scene partners are acting crazy, which makes the scene hilarious. He is able to improvise in the moment to include all actors in the scene!

Kylie Clemens    Kylie cultivates interesting characters by transforming her entire body and voice. She even creates new, exciting accents!

Connley Dewitt    Connley works so well with everyone in her class. She brings her joyful, lighthearted spirit into each role!
ACTING ACADEMY
Details!  Location!  This week in Acting Academy, we focused on adding details to make our lines more interesting for the audience.  We also practiced setting up a specific location in our silent restaurtant scene, which allowed the audience to know exactly where we are and when our scene takes place.  We then performed a slapstick comedy routine about Reggie who is in LOVE with the restaurant owner's daughter!  Ask your child if Reggie had the nerve to ask her out on a date!

LOWER PRIMARY
This week in Lower Primary, we showed what it means to work as a team!  From bouncing imaginary basketballs to coming across a wandering herd of cows, we practiced using both slow and steady movements, then sudden, irregular movements.  Then we got ready for the family cookout.  Timothy chomped down on his corn of the cob a little too hard and lost his tooth!  Ask your child what happened to Timothy's tooth!
 
UPPER PRIMARY
This week in Upper Primary, we continued our preparations for our upcoming Parent Presentation by reviewing all of the sections of our noisy office themed Verbal Dynamics piece. Through this speech activity, we practiced our articulation, character expression, and how to react to actions on stage!  We then took all of that energy and poured it into our partner scripted scene entitled "Switch Over" in which both characters are arguing over which television show to watch.  Ask your child about their favorite television show and if they won the debate on whose show was best!
