Drama Camp Rocks!


Cinderella with her Prince Charming!

Hi everyone,
On last Friday, the 18th, we had the Drama Camp, as part of the Summer Camps 2006.
18 kids turned up! the average age being 6-7 years.... and needless to say, while we gave them an experience in drama, they gave us one-hell-of-an-experience/lesson in PATIENCE! :) Anyway, the kids were really really cute, talented and unbelievably creative!
Just a recap on the day.......
we had planned a couple of simple activities/exercises with them, on stuff like character building, confidence building, voice (to help them be heard when they are on stage), etc etc. But it turned out that these little kids were over-confident and were a tad bit too loud!...... so, we had to kind of come up with different stuff for them to do last minute :).
We ended the camp by breaking them into 3 groups, and got them to do little skits of famous fairy tales, but with a twist! :) Sheetal, Revan and Imran did a fantastic job with handling each of the groups.
Really guys, you all should have been there to experience the drama the kids put up that day. We had snow white captured by the wicked step-mother, and SpiderMan to her rescue!. The other play was that of Robin Hood, who is accompanied by King Richard in his quest to rescue his girlfriend! :). and we had the all-time popular Cinderella, who intends to reach the Ball in a 'wolf-drawn' carriage, but is sadly killed on her way there by the wolf....
finally allowing the step-mother to marry the Prince! :) And thats just a 'summary' of the creativity that these kids displayed that day!
Ok, well, Ive spent enough time typing this out, but just HAD to tell you guys abt it. :) Sheetal, Imran and Revan... Thank You so much guys for the ideas and support before and on that day. You guys were super!
Pls find attcahed just a couple of pictures. my favourite is that of Cinderella and her Prince during 'rehearsals' (it was not part of the play :). Think they actually had something going there! :)
To the organising committee of Summer Camps - 3 Cheers! Well done!
RCC Rocks!
