Junior High School’s 8 Day Exaggerated Musical Drama Workshop
Junior High School experienced new drama techniques during an emersion workshop in the
beautiful joglo to develop confidence, personality and creativity.
We were exploring movement with different items such as a ball, a cube, a book, cards, etc. We
combined all the movements into a performance. Activities included mirroring, small plays,
emotional stories, and fun games such as the rolling ball game and charades.
After every performance our teacher would always ask us “Who are they?”. We think he asked
us this question so that we could explore different perspectives of scenarios. This was an
important tool which allowed us to develop our creativity and brain storm ideas.
We learnt unique singing activities where everyone would sit in a circle, we would sing a song in
an Italian dialect. When we were finished we would wait for someone to start the song again,
and if no one did, we would finish the activities. If someone started again, we would sing
another round of the song. People would start singing further rounds because it was strange
and wonderful.
Our favorite aspects of the workshop were jumping on the trampoline because we had more
time to engage with everyone and learn more about each other. Other favorite aspects were
watching Jason fall in the fish pond and eat the ash from the incense, listening to friends share
personal and emotional stories from the heart, having a break from writing and school work as
well as singing, walking on the table and laying down in the hammock.
