Podium 2024 interest session: Drama Games for Choirs (virtual)
In this energetic and interactive session, participants will learn many quick activities to inject energy and focus into rehearsals. This collection of theatre games by Augusto Boal and Viola Spolin - as well as "ear cleaning" activities by composer R. Murray Schafer - has been handpicked and adapted for use with choirs of any age. Circle games, partner games, improv structures and listening challenges: all of these can build musical skills and confidence - and they are FUN. Participants will receive a bilingual handout with game instructions and additional resources.
