Students have been unable to work together and share their performances with a live audience since the Pandemic and lock down. As students begin working together on the stage again it is imperative that they have the basic tools they need in order to be successful. The items requested for More Drama! will enable students to dissect a text and begin characterization work, in addition to safely marking the stage so they can move set and block scenes with ease. Students in my class who engage in theatre activities find their "niche;" their drama family. My classroom provides a safe place where they can relax and be themselves while exploring a range of emotions, and characteristics for the stage without fear of reprisal. Being able to fully participate in theatre is essential to their mental health and overall well-being.
