Sat, 13 Sep 2008 00:31:27 GMT http://www.play-script-and-song.com/article-archives.html#Drama4 Archived Article<br> When having students try their hand at writing their own play scripts, we often focus our attention on the skill of writing dialogue and perhaps include a discussion of the emotions involved for the characters. Unfortunately, we often neglect an examination of the more physical part of drama - the action of the story which would be given to the director and actors through stage cues.<br> Help young script writers to <i>visualize</i> the action.

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 17:58:16 GMT http://www.play-script-and-song.com/article-archives.html Archived Article<br> Watch young children. What are they very often doing when left to their own devices? That's right - play-acting. It seems that drama play comes naturally. Kids "play house", pretending to be mommy or daddy; dash around acting like a superhero, or raise their arms in victory when emulating a favourite sports star. Most children come into formal educational situations having gone through their imitative stage of drama play and having experienced some imaginative, creative, self-directed play.<br> Find out more about tapping into this natural interest.......
