Drama tips

Freeze frame

• Plan facial expressions, gesture, sight-lines etc, before standing up
• Imagine what characters might saying or thinking as you create the ff
• Ff very useful for larger groups and action scenes (consider a 3ff

sequence to convey action) Mime

• As above, but consider how sight-lines alter during the scene
• Mime very useful for scenes that feature a dramatic change
• Best for individual or pair scenes

Paired improvisation

• Only twos!
• Give first line to each
• Give an ending to aim for
• Remind them about facial expressions, gesture, sight-lines etc
