Design A New Drama Warm Up

In my drama lesson on the 27/09/12 I was given the chance to lead

the Drama Warm Up (DWU).

For my DWU I chose to do a warm up call zip zap zoom boning.

This game concentrated on 

 .Focus

 .Concentration 

 .Team building skills

 .Raising energy levels

The game warm up I chose was Zip Zap Zoom Boning (ZZZB). 

The rules of the game are: 

 .YOU HAVE TO STAND IN A CIRCLE so every can see everyone

 .A Zip is to the left 

 .A Zap is to the right 

 .A Zoom is across the circle

 .And A Boning which is to reflect any thing that is sent to you but you can't Boning a

  a Boning or you will have to sit down because you are out.

 .and you CAN'T SAY ERRRRRR/ERMMMM ect

 .and you have to be ENTHUSIASTIC 

I chose ZZZB because

 . it raise energy levels

 .it gets people focused

 .its fun

 .and it demands concentration

The skill ZZZB mostly help develop was Concentration, because

you have to be aware of what is happening around and know what you

are going to do. This will help in a dram proforma because they have to be concentrate

on the character they are playing and if they want to give advice to an another proforma.

my class mates where unsure about the rules of the game so

I gave them demonstration to help them understand,and gave them a practice 

round.

at first it was difficult to lead the session because some people where 

unsettled and some people didn't understand the rules so they where chatty,

but by they time I had given a demonstration 

every calmed down because they knew what was happening

ZZZB warmed the actors voices because they had to project so people could 

hear them , which is what actors need to do so the audience can hear them.

ZZZB warmed up the actors mind because they had to be in

a focussed mind frame .

ZZZB warmed up the actors bodies because they had to be 

enthusiastic whit their movments.

The improvements I would make to ZZZB now that is has been

tested is that I would make the actors say each others name 

because it would make them work more as a team because they

know each others names or and make them act like characters.

In Conclusion I have learnt that   everyone has a different 

rate of understanding and that what one person may understand

or and find easy someone else might not
