Building the Ensemble

A drama lesson plan by Lindsay Price

Building the Ensemble

by Lindsay Price

Use this lesson plan at the beginning of the year to introduce the concept of ensemble and what it means to work together.

Part One: Students participate and then reflect on exercises where they have to work together to make the exercise successful. They are given an Ensemble Expectations Handout.
Part Two: Students participate and then reflect on exercises where they have to work together as an ensemble in a theatrical context. Here the exercises add elements of character and story such as creating a family portrait, tableau, group objects, one word storytelling, and choral speaking.
