A dip-in, flick-through, quick-fire resource book in the Nick Hern
Books Drama Games series, this title is for teachers and workshop
leaders working with difficult or reluctant students, youth groups,
young offenders, and all those who seem intent on saying 'no' to
whatever is offered them. 'This book offers invaluable ways for
artists, teachers, workshop leaders and activists to better use the
arts to empower young people' Ken Livingstone, from his Foreword.
For these groups, drama games and activities need to be robust and
engaging, and the dozens that appear in this book have been devised
with this in mind - and then tested by their target players. Each
page features clear instructions on How to Play, notes on the
Benefits of the Game, and advice on age range, number of players
and timing. Following the ninety games and exercises aimed at
developing core skills, the book offers scenarios for a series of
improvisational challenges that test participants' abilities in
mediation, communication, negotiation, assertiveness and managing
emotions. Also included is a collection of games aimed at preparing
teachers and workshop leaders for facilitating challenging
sessions. The ultimate aim is to encourage reluctant participants
to engage, collaborate and develop not just skills for drama but
skills for life.

Wenner - Maskew Miller Longman 2014 Letterkundeprys. BFF deur
Cecilia du Toit is die Afrikaanse wenner van Maskew Miller Longman
se Letterkunde-kompetisie in 2014. Dis 'n heerlike eietydse drama
oor vier vriendinne wat desperaat op soek is na metgeselle vir die
Graad 11 bal, en nie juis soos BFF (Best Friends Forever) teenoor
mekaar optree nie. Een van die vier besluit om vir die ander 'n les
in lojaliteit te leer, en span 'n Facebook-hartebreker in om haar
plan deur te voer. Die toneelstuk verwys tong-in-die-kies na die
mite van Pygmalion wat vir homself 'n vrou skep, en na Frankenstein
wat 'n monster maak om sy wraakplanne uit te voer. Deon Opperman,
bekende dramaturg en vanjaar beoordelaar van die
Letterkunde-kompetisie, se die volgende oor BFF: Die karakters is
juis, eg en uniek.; Die dialoog is kraakvars, geloofwaardig en
uiters vermaaklik.; Die stuk bied baie interessante moontlikhede
vir opvoering op die verhoog.; Die teks is relevant vir 'n
tienerleser en 'n gehoor.; 'n Mens kan baie by die karakters leer;
tog is daar nooit die gevoel van 'n preek wat afgesteek word nie.
Four friends are desperately looking for dates for the Grade 11
ball and do not exactly act like BFF's (Best Friends Forever) to
each other. One of the four friends decides to teach the other a
lesson in loyalty and gets a Facebook heartbreaker to help her
carry out her plan.
