From the Author
When first teaching Theatre Arts I realized that standard drama exercises just did not work as effectively as they could. I began making twists on them, then turned to designing my own. I use only a positive approach to drama study work, employ all sensory modes, and make certain to encourage exercises that release creativity, raise energy, improve memory, creative a cohesive atmosphere, and enhance the skills of my students. This tape was created so all those apple pickers could drop the fruit and have some fun while learning.

You can make anything interesting! Give the groom a tux infested with fleas but remind him to play it straight. Things always go wrong at social events, and a guy standing at the alter is not going to shout Oh no! I've got fleas. He's going to deal with it. Trust that your actors will stay in character and survive The Wedding.

I found the tape condescending and truly annoying to listen to. Ms. Atman talks to people we can't hear and they have their little inside jokes. Often, I had difficulties discerning the WHY of the activities, I didn't find she made that clear. I've been teaching theater for almost 10 years and was dissappointed in how boring and mundane MOST of the suggestions were. To note, a couple were worthwile, but nothing earth shattering.

Highly Recommended,

I "adjusted" the basically adult exercises on this tape and used them with my 6th Grade Theater Troupe. I learned a lot about them (in many ways), and they had a great time with the exercises. When my adult community theater group got together for their last production, I had everyone try the exercises. Everyone got fired up -- so once we began auditions, we were ready! The cozy live-workshop nature of the tape made us all feel like we were part of the group, and the advice the author/reader gave was sound -- it reminded us of a few things all ensembles need to know. A mature tape for open-minded, serious actors and instructors, willing to have a good time.

Good Stuff!,

Although some of the exercises here were variations on classics, they took such a different approach, they served a completely different function. Being a drama teacher for almost thirty years now, I appreciate the attention to sensory mode enhancement, and the open-endedness of some exercises (which allowed me to "customize" them)!
