101 Drama Games and Activities

David Farmer, 2011. — 81 p.101 highly effective games and exercises suitable for use in teaching drama lessons, workshops or rehearsals with children, young people or adults. Chapters include improvisation, mime, ice-breakers, group dynamics, rehearsal, story-telling, voice and warm-ups. This unique book has been developed by a professional theatre director through workshops and training with actors, teachers and children around the world.Drama games, bonding activities and improvisation can be daunting. Some people - children and adults - become inhibited by a fear of looking silly. Others feel they are expected to be funny and worry that they won't be. But David Farmer's helpful book offers activities that emphasize fun rather than embarrassment, and collaboration rather than self-exposure. I heartily recommend his techniques and ideas to all drama teachers and theatre directors.
