Like any exercise, sport or activity, it may not go brilliantly the first time. Giveyourself the space to evaluate and try again.With practice and experience, both you and your groupwill find it easier.3. Keep the activities linked and relevant.This will help you when you are planning and conductingyour workshop. It is easier to remember things if they are sequential.4. Keep your notes clear and near to hand.5. Workshop with others. Bring in others to help you run the session.Another person’s perspective isinvaluable when evaluating how the drama session went.6. Don’t feel like you have to do a two-hour workshop every week. Little and often is a better approach.Over time, your group will be able to deal with longer drama sessions as your ability to facilitatethem in this art form grows.7. Evaluate and annotate your workshops. If you keep a record of the workshops you have done andyour evaluation notes, you can revisit these workshops over and over again. You will be refining yourpractice. It will also help you to record games and exercises you see others do.8
