Being an Accidental Drama Teacher

I am not qualified to teach drama.  I was always much too scared as a child to participate in drama related activities.  Yet, somehow, I am teaching drama this semester.


I once took a drama class.  It was for a week at summer camp.  Sunnybrae taught me all I know about drama and I have been using those skills all semester to frantically try and teach my boys about the 'art of performance.'  What I have learned is: they like silly games as much as I do, and any chance they have to dance or pretend to be girls is cherished.


In this assignment they had to do a lip dub to an English song, with a co-ordinated dance number.  Behold the magic they created.  (All the performances were pretty epic, but for the sake of my slow internet connection I had to choose one).




Although this one is a bit light on the coordinated moves, it is heavy on hilarity.  The stars of this video are David, lead male vocals, Bieber, lead female vocals, Tim, drummer extraordinaire, and Martin, as the serious piano player.  I will admit though, my favourite role here is Enrico the camera man.  Enrico has a hard time pronouncing his own name (so most people call him Enrdrico), but his camera skills are pretty awesome.  

Sorry for the choppy feed, but I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
