This learning resource is designed to help students understand the language of drama, specifically how actors communicate emotions and intentions through various forms of expression. It focuses on three key elements: facial expressions, body language, and tableaux. Students will learn how facial expressions (like smiles and frowns) and body movements (like waving hands or standing still) convey feelings and enhance character portrayal in performances. The resource includes interactive components such as observation checklists, reflective questions, and a creative challenge where students create their own tableau to express specific emotions. Through these activities, students will deepen their understanding of non-verbal communication in dramatic performance.
