I’m directing A Midsummer Night’s Dream with 8-10 year olds. It is a follow up to last year’s A Tempest. This year the young performers have really begun to develop their characters through gestures. They are also reading the play keeping their cues and blocking in mind.
This final unit of IB Drama is pretty exciting and I am pleased with the Inquiry Statements and planning that has happened. MYP 5 students are really excited with The On Camera class. We will take a field trip to a casting director. Some students might even sign up to be on their talent roster.
Shakespeare Club took a learning holiday trip to Oxford, England. Each actor was accompanied by a parent. The itinerary was busy with visits and workshops to Pitt Rivers Museum, the Story Museum, Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, RSC, and the Dahl Museum. The trip was amazing.
