Why Include Drama in School?

Drama boosts creativity and empathy.

Through acting, we can visualize people whose life experiences are different from ours. We can evaluate differing viewpoints
and begin to appreciate how other people act and feel. Having a creative and imaginative approach is important for trying different ideas and solutions.

Drama fosters self-confidence.

Drama develops self expression. It takes a lot of confidence to act on a stage
and communicate with an audience. We should encourage all children to express themselves through music, dance and drama.
Drama boosts their imagination , children build their self-confidence and their self-esteem.
This confidence gained from dramatic arts contributes to valuable life skills (e.g. in education, employment, leisure and social contexts)

Drama improves verbal and non-verbal communication skills.
Drama gives children scope to develop their vocabulary,
vocal projection, articulation and expression. Drama can help children develop their speech, communication and presentation skills,
which are vital skills in the modern world.

Drama fosters enduring relationships with others.
For example, drama is fun, and children make relationships while enjoying the experience of drama, song and movement.

Drama develops concentration and memory (e.g. learning lines, reacting to cues, remembering dance steps)

Drama facilitates teamwork and working together to achieve a goal.
Teamwork is vital when producing a play and is an essential lifelong skill.

A musical play can be valuable in developing listening and responding to music, physical co-ordination (e.g.through dance) and vocal talents.
======================================================
Some tips for putting on a primary school play:

Choose your play wisely. You know your students, so pick something that will be a good fit for the abilities on offer.
Do you want to stretch them with something challenging or offer a gentler introduction to performance?
Is there a part for everyone? Will it showcase the range of talent?
Don’t try to do it all alone. Ask for volunteers from the school community; you may be surprised at how many people want to help,
as well as the expertise they can offer. Pool your skills and reap the benefits.

Hold auditions for anyone who would like a speaking role and put your preconceptions to one side.
Gifted performers should be given the opportunity to shine (after all, you wouldn’t leave pupils who were talented at PE
out of the school sports teams), but give others a chance, too.

Children who are quiet in the classroom may be completely different on stage, and the class loudmouth may fall apart in front of an audience.

Pay attention to children who struggle academically and would benefit from taking part.

Some children hate being in the spotlight, and that’s fine. Provide lots of backstage roles (props, costume, lights,
scene changes and so on) for pupils who are less keen on performing and ensure that they feel every bit as important as those on stage.

Nobody expects a professional performance,but you should still be teaching and developing drama skills. Work on voice projection, enunciation and stage presence. Spend time demonstrating how to be on stage without looking
awkward when it’s not your turn to speak, and if there are songs, work on them until every note is perfect and they can raise the roof with their singing.

About four to six weeks of rehearsal should be enough for a primary school performance.
Make the most of rehearsals by dividing the children into groups to work separately, minimising the amount of time that they are left sitting around doing nothing. Be sure to have a few full run-throughs, including one full technical and dress rehearsal.

Put on enough performances for everyone to be able to attend, rather than just one performance with limited tickets.

Try to manage the issue of small children in the audience, either by running a crèche during the performance or by making a kind but firm request that parents keep their younger children quiet and remove them from the hall if they become loud or unsettled. It’s disheartening for pupils to work hard on a play only to have their lines obliterated by a crying baby or disruptive toddler.

Allocate backstage duty to your most bomb-proof staff members to ensure that everything stays quiet and calm, and give them a watertight schedule of who needs to be where and when. It may be feasible for the whole cast to occupy benches close to the stage, so all the children can support the singing.

Keep a smile on your face no matter how stressful things get. If you look like you’re enjoying yourself, your pupils will, too. Break a leg!
