Drama 6-7

My first step in the real world. 

OVERVIEW 

ATH offers a teaching program adapted to the physical skills and psychological development that characterize the different ages. The program includes a period of general drama training for all groups, followed by theatre productions. 

At this age, children start to understand what the existence of others means. They know their emotions better and place themselves at the center of the world. Unlike the 4–5-year-olds, the 6–7-year-olds will progressively leave the imaginary world and acquire the first notion of Theatre: playing characters, using space, discipline, and so on. This is also an important period when they strengthen their self-confidence. That’s why teachers always accompany them on stage in order to avoid any sense of failure and fear in front of the audience.

GENERAL CLASS CONTENT 

• Getting to know basic concepts of drama: acting, space management, theatrical vocabulary, etc. 
• Construction of characters and dramatic situations through improvisation theatre techniques 
• Development of unique abilities and self-confidence both individually and as part of a group 
• Each session is an adventure in which the children are brought along. Basic notions of theatre are introduced in the story guided by the teacher.  

PERFORMANCE 

Each class will perform a theatrical creation accompanied by their drama teacher on stage as part of the P.A.S. Festival.
