Imagination and creativity in Drama

Imagination can be very useful when creating any play or role play. This allows you to get creative and unique ideas to make a very succesful play. Today in drama class we made 2 role plays, both were not really succesful due to lack of teamwork and lack of imagination. The first play's task was to create a play in a small space (2m squared Aprox.) and give the audience the feeling that the story is happening in a small space.  We did a play about miners stuck in a mining elevator. For reference look at the picture below.

The second play was a bit similar, the only difference was that we were given a small stage but we had to make the auience feel as if it was a big place or environment. The stage was a little bit bigger than the first play. We made a play about people having a picnic in the mountains. Picture below for reference.

Later on we were gaven four objects to elaborate a game with rules. This was a challenge for imagination and creativity, We were gaven :

1)bamboo stick,

2)white string, 

3)empty trashcan 

4)bag sealer. 

We attached the string about 1.5m long to the bag sealer and then but the bag sealer inside the bamboo, then pull the string to pull the bag sealer out of the bamboo and then try to score in the trashcan with the bag sealer. Look at picture below for reference. ( the string is missing, this is after someone pulled the string)

Overall, this Drama lesson tought us that it is important to collaborate as a team to listen other's ideas so we can agree and look after flaws in everyoes ideas. It is also very important to be creative, because   people need to give good ideas to make a successful play. There are tons and millions of ways in which a play can be made. In addition it is also important that the actor is mentally in the play's world, this is to make the play look real and the actor to be really putting the emotion, to live as the character. Finally all these tips are essential to a drama play because there is no best idea but a serie of them can make a great one, listen to others, get into the play so it is possible to perform as professionally as possible, more vivastic and intersting.
