Generosity of Spirit!

Diary of a Drama Teacher...

What really impresses me about the children in our classes is their generous spirits. Last night, paired in mini scripts, we had a situation where 2 children both wanted to be the same character. We used the 'which hand is it in' method to choose who played which part. The child who didn't get the part she wanted did brilliantly with the part she ended up with. She gave it 100% and performed with confidence. No fussing or sulking. A far more valuable skill than being a great actor!
