Drama Camp 2012

On November 13th, some of our i of the Tiger club members were involved in a drama camp with two incredible artists. They'd like to share their experience here. Thank you Sherri and Matt for sharing your talents and thank you PTA and Ms. Fulcher for making it all possible.

Improvisation by Becca
On Tuesday the 13th professional Actor/comedian came to SAS to teach drama students how to use the art of improvisation. I played many games to get into the skill of improvisation, my favorites were World Expert; where you improv on any subject. Superhero; where you call on ‘superheroes’ to save the day, and I liked 5 Point Story; where you make a random story with 5 main points. In the end we did a performance in front of our parents. If this happens again I want to know about it.

Clowning by Henrik
Hi, I’m Henrik, and I did clowning too. I GOT A RED NOSE! Anyways... I learned a lot about how to be a good clown, I mean, I already know how to be clown, but not a clown clown. I never wore a red big nose on my face, and wore really weird clothes. In fact, I WORE A DRESS! And I thought it was a really fun learning experience for me, and even though it was during my vacation, I really really enjoyed myself, and if it happens again, I wanna go.

Clowning by Tanvi
It definitely was a strange sight: a bunch of middle school kids in weird costumes, to say the least, with red noses, and dancing their hearts out. Some were wearing buckets for hats, others Angry Birds bags, some were wearing three hats, some were wearing pants on their head, but all had a hat on, obeying the basic rules of clowning: a clown is naked without a hat. And then there were the clothes: dresses on boys, military jackets, torn sweatshirts. All in all, it was a very strange sight. This was the clowning activity in the Deepavali drama camp: an 8-hour long crazy workshop full of fun and laughter and clowning. We learned a lot about the art of clowning: about letting yourself go and exposing your raw emotions, about being yourself, about charging each other on ‘horses’ i.e. our butts. Fun, fun, fun. A must-try.
