Drama Summary: Levels 2,3,4 - 9/17/2013

This week in class we discussed the two genres of comedy and tragedy.  We covered some of the basic differences as well as the one thing they share, they both revolve around a central struggle.  We had wonderful thoughts, ideas, and comments flowing through out class times!  Comparing and contrasting the ideas that arise from these two types of plays had some amazing results.  Linked is the sheet our Drama 4 class discussed (please feel free to use for support of any transcript work).  We also covered the distinct differences between Satire and Comedy.  

We also continued our work and exercise with our breath and began to work on our voices.  Vocal warm ups and working with our body while maintaining our "belly breath".  We also drew some interesting emotions from comic and tragic events.
