Action!
Ta king Drama online with virtual
performances and Jamboard
Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, lessons held in classrooms
were replaced with online lessons, which restricted forms of communication
and interactions crucial for drama lessons. As a result, various methods
were used to provide the essence of interaction in drama lessons, creating
a thrilling and interesting experience for online learning.
Posture and costumes were used to produce and present two
different stereotypes in the forms of images, which were later displayed in
class. As I saw images of classmates being displayed on the screen, their
lively postures, ridiculous costumes and awkward facial expressions made
me feel extremely amused throughout the whole online lesson. The
amusement and the second-hand embarrassment brought by the pictures
brightened the mood of the lesson and made the lesson more enjoyable to
have.

To make classes entertaining and humorous, Commedia Dell'arte
styled lazzi were performed live in class. After my performance, I felt the
endearing adrenaline flowing through my head, leaving me feeling both
refreshed and exhilarated afterwards. Similarly, the physicalities of
Commedia Dell’arte characters were also explored in class. The nostalgia
of my class’ ardour and chaotic atmosphere rushed to me as I saw my
classmates forcibly act out entertaining movements on the screen, which
made me realise how
the use of cameras
have successfully
fulfilled the lack of
interaction and
excitement that
c r e a t e s a j o y f u l
learning experience
for students.
