Drama Activity: DRAMA FREEZES
DRAMA FREEZES are vital to drama activities and performances. Here are some drama freezes to practice creating characters and situations.
​Drama Freezes
Players:
-
This drama activity is suitable for all sized groups.
Hints for drama freezes:
-
For new groups, I like to have students 'shake things out' and practice just stopping on the spot before adding characters.
-
When practicing drama freezes I like announce the freeze and then count students in 3, 2, 1. I find that it is better to get students thinking and moving quickly into freezes.
