Updates on holiday trainings so far
Hi all, here's what happened on the sessions held so far, for the benefit of those who missed el on any of these days and for those who didn't as well:
From now on, we will begin with warm-up exercises in the following areas:
1. Relaxation
2. Breathing
3. Voice
4. Articulation
The specific exercises will be taught under the guidance of certain elddians when you attend the sessions.
Games would usually follow warm-up exercises. These are easy to learn as well.
We will guide you if you have not gone through any warm-up exercises or games.
23rd Nov 09 (Monday)
1. Warm-up exercises
2. Games e.g. zip zap zop, grab-a-peg
3. Improvisation (e.g. dialogue where each line had to begin and progress with the letters in the alphabet A-Z)
24th Nov 09 (Tuesday)
1. Warm-up exercises (refer to above)
2. Games e.g. zip zap zop, grab-a-peg
3. Tone exercises
- we were given scripts to read from 3 areas: news report, advertisement, and poem, and had to read them differently according to the different genres.
4. Monologue exercises
- improvised (on the spot creation)
- scene specific (where one performs a monologue at a specific area - thsi time we did it in a part of the sch we chose)
- scripted (with the script - Arsehammers, we picked a character to do a monologue on)
These are the more important activities that happened recently.
Please be reminded that attendance are taken for each session and you NEED to provide a valid reason if you are not attending any. The script will be decided by dec.
As a reminder,

It is mandatory to arrive at 8.30 AM for ALL sessions and begin with warm-ups before actual commencement.
- Please buy an exercise book / notebook for compulsory reflections after every session
- Please check your emails regularly for important updates
- Please also refer to our EL blog (http://rvhseldds.blogspot.com/) for a recap of our sessions just in case you forget or miss any sessions. This will aid you in your reflection-writing process as well. Updates will begin tomorrow.
