NIDA Holiday Programme

Write-up of holiday program activity for Cubs

Over the school holidays I went to a drama and performance school for a week. The topic of the program was ‘rags to riches’ (personal growth, character development). I was in the year 3-6 level and there were 16 of us. On Friday that week I did a performance. I sung two songs:

You ‘ain’t never had a friend like me – Aladdin

It’s a hard knock life – Annie

We did numerous smaller group performances (4 groups of 4 mostly) all based on Cinderella and (again) Aladdin. 

For our group performances we went through stages:

1. Mime
   1. We had to start making the scene with no sound at all
2. One sound effect
   1. We could add one sound effect to each character
3. Gibberish
   1. We made the scene with words replaced with gibberish
4. Full sound
   1. We made the scene with all of the lines and dialogue

It was great fun and I very much enjoyed it. I suggest that if you like doing performances check out the N.I.D.A program.
