Reading was so fun and that little girl in our group was so CUTE!!

Well done to everyone i have a great big feeling that all of the little kids loved it, and that we all enjoyed it cause it was great.

Another term has gone so another topic in drama must come.

It may be the start of a new term, but I do remember my Group's Storytelling Experience.

What I learned from our storytelling experience is if you don't capture them in from the start, you're a goner. Like in Children's Theatre, our audience was young children. Even though it was only a 3 minute story I read, you knew if you didn't get them interested in those 3 minutes, you failed yourself and your group.

Elements such as Focus, Movement, Mood and Language were required. Movement and Mood are elements that your audience see, so if they aren't emphasised enough, they audience will lose interest. Focus is always required in a drama performance. Language is also a requirement and can effected depending on how you put it across.

The Children's Theatre Semester was one the best Drama Semesters I've had. I'm looking forward to this Semester, which I believe will be just as great as our last.
