Theatre Games offers exercises & activities that can be enjoyed by broad range of ages & abilities.At Perform Australia, we practice these high-energy & fun-filled games to encourage clarity of thought, remain calm under pressure & connect emotionally & physically to the spoken world. These activities act as a warm-up to train performers to get ready to unleash their imagination & performance.
Students of Perform Australia 1. 1-10 A simple yet effective exercise to bring everyone's focus at the beginning of every session. The group stands in a circle and is asked to call out one number at a time. Sounds easy? Well, if two players call out a number at the same time, the exercise is stopped and needs to start over. 2. Spaghetti A fun-filled, physical activity that helps performers to connect their emotions with their character. It easily creates a drama lesson plan that will inspire each performing arts student. The group forms a circle and each player gets a chance to play an emotion by coming in the center. The group gives the chosen player a specific emotion, that needs to be played by saying the word 'Spaghetti'. Emotion/character-traits are as such: Excited-spaghetti, Intelligent spaghetti, rock star spaghetti, cool spaghetti 3. Wink Murder This activity focuses on promoting concentration and group awareness of all the performers. The group sits in a circle facing each other and a volunteer is asked to become a detective. This selected detective is then asked to step outside the circle. Meanwhile, the group chooses a murderer from the group that the detective is unaware of. The task for the murderer is to kill the other players (victims), while the detective finds who the villain is. Comments are closed.
