Let's accept it, attending a drama workshop or rehearsal online may be the need of the hour, but its nothing like the in-person experience! Its not! It is difficult and (on most occasions) impossible to project your voice, practise effecting breathing, get into character and work on your gestures if you have to lap up your device, slouching on the sofa or lying on the bed. And oh, try working on your hand gestures and movements while being tied to your device with your wired ...headphones. Postural (bad) habits can narrow an actor's range and can inhibit their physical possibilities as a performer. Take a moment to help your child create an online learning experience thats productive, rewarding and, well, worth working for with these simple but effective 3 STEP approach as advised by our Artistic Director and Drama Educator Jimish Thakkar, after experiencing the early challenges (and annoyance) of teaching drama online.
