Life in the Drama Class

Submitted by jennifer.dunn on

If you are looking for a fun elective to take, sign up for Ms. Clement’s drama class! Drama is a class for students who love theater, acting, dancing, and singing. In drama, you learn all of those things, and it is a fun opportunity to practice and tune up your skills. There are classes available for all grades: Drama 1 is for seventh graders, Drama 2 is for eighth graders, and Drama 3 is for ninth graders. 

Drama teaches you a lot of different skills to use in the theater world. Meagan Jones, an eighth grader in Drama 2, said, “My favorite thing about drama is learning stage combat. It is super fun!” 

Will Francom, an eighth grader in Drama 2, said, “I like learning to use facial expression and body movement.”

 According to Ryann Brockbank, an eighth grader in Drama 2, in February the class choreographed their own numbers to musical theater songs that they will perform for their families. Ryann said, “It’s fun to be creative and dance however you want.” 

According to the students in the class, one of the best things about taking drama is the teacher, Ms. Clement! Lucy Bradshaw, a ninth grader in Drama 2, said, “Ms. Clement is a fun teacher. She really wants to help us understand what we are doing.” According to Meagan Jones, Ms. Clement is not afraid to express herself and make class a fun environment. Will Francom said, “She’s chill when you make a mistake, and will always help you fix it.” 

Drama is all about learning new things, and having more experience performing. According to Meagan Jones, at the end of the year the students perform all of the things they have learned in class. You learn different skills ranging from stage combat, to vocal training, to choreographing dances. Lucy Bradshaw said, “My favorite part about drama is getting to choreograph and come up with a show.” 

Overall, drama is a really fun class, and all the students recommend taking it next year!
