Not Just a Can of Worms
A Drama group for 7 – 13 year olds
This is a short introduction to improvisation in Drama. We will go on adventures of the imagination, find problems along the way, solve them, only to be faced with another set of problems, but who knows, there might just be something interesting, exciting and helpful in that can of worms-if you know where to look! In Drama, problems are opportunities!
We will use a variety of drama games and exercises to free our voices and the imaginations as individuals but also to learn to work as a team. The emphasis is on having fun, gaining confidence and acquiring or revising skills. We will work together, of course, but also on our own, and in pairs and groups to experience different ways of working. As well as verbal improvisation, we will be using mime and physical work to help the children develop their all-round abilities.

A BIT MORE ABOUT US…
At DK we follow the mantra ‘Just Be’. For us this encompasses the idea that all students will be accepted for what they are. It also provides a strong link to well-being. We aim to help our students achieve mental stillness and awareness of self and others within the workshop space and stage in order to help them develop their improvisation skills.
DK classes involve collaborative improvisation, intrigue and problem solving. The student is at the heart of everything we do and we see it as our mission to help to individuals to find their own voice by being enabled to work without inhibition in a safe environment in which their ideas are given prominence and shape.
We also engender effective team building through the vehicle of drama/theatre and the immersive approach we take. We are developing links with Fair Frome and local schools, offering assisted places in order to reach out to members of the community who may have less experience of drama and theatre.
