My most recent drama experience

[Mercedes Bravo Carnicero]

My most recent drama experience took place two years ago, with a Bachillerato group (Ampliación Oral) and a play I wrote myself in order to perform a reader's theatre activity.

What went wrong: ç

- a very large group of students who, in spite of their age, had to be managed like little kids;

- trying to convice said students of the joys and  usefulness of drama for improving their oral competence purposes;

- the panic attack that our "star" suffered barely five minutes before curtain up and having to replace him for an improvised understudy.

What went right:

- students learning to group in an organized group with a single objective;

- the tons of fun they (and I) had;

- the interest (very mild, agreed) some students developed in reading more drama.

Would I do it again? I can't wait!
