Act Out! – drama and role-play activities for young people
£6.50
Product Description
It's no secret that drama and acting are great ways of encouraging young people to express themselves and participate. Drama and role-play activities are not only fun, but they can be empowering and liberating too. What's less clear is how the worker can maximise opportunities for this type of work, particularly if she or he does not come from an arts background. Act Out! brings you 32 brilliant and easy-to-use exercises that can be put to good use with groups of young people aged between 11 and 16.
The ideas outlined in Act Out! are offered as tools for engaging young people to discuss and think through ideas. The book offers examples of good warm up activities, and then helps you take the work to the next stage, examining improvisation, mime and role-play work. Using this book with your group should stimulate ideas and encourage young participants to benefit fully from all aspects of the process.
