A note from the author:
I love physical theatre and have compiled this SOW to be adaptable and useful for all Drama teachers as an accessible way into physical theatre. I have noted down different techniques from a range of companies/practitioners. Your students will surely love playing around with these lessons.
SOW Overview:
A detailed 18 page, nine lesson (70 minute lesson) SOW for students to experiment and play around creatively with Physical Theatre components.
Lesson One: Introduction to Physical Theatre
Lesson Two: Complicite - Collaborative Ensemble Physicality (Information, Games & Activities)
Lessons Three & Four: Frantic Assembly - Choreography for Non Dancers & Devising Theatre (Information, Exercises and Activities) - Could be split into two lessons.
Lesson Five: Merce Cunningham - Chance Choreography (Information and Activities)
Lesson Six: Peter Darling (Information and Activities)
Lesson Seven: Anne Bogart - Viewpoints (Information and Activities)
Lessons Eight & Nine: Assessment Lessons - Could be split over a number of extra lessons to tie together everything they have learnt from the SOW.

A note from the author:
I have used these resources with my form group from Year 7 - 9 to ensure that not only do I develop a strong pastoral grounding with the students, but also that I build a professional relationship with my form. Some of the resources will need to be tailored / adapted to the needs of your form and your school pastoral policies, however they are a great template to work from.
Included here are a range of different resources. The main ideas are embedded within the two ‘Twilight’ documents as this is from a session I ran on our Pastoral role as form teachers.
Posters / Displays:
- Multiple Intelligence Posters - to instil a sense of acceptance of difference
- A Fingerprint Tree (will need an ink pad) where all students add their fingerprint as a leaf to the tree - to create a bond of loyalty
- Quotes of the Week - to inspire students
- Code of Conduct examples - to help students understand expectations of the school, staff and themselves.
- Roles/Responsibilities Lists with ideas to get the whole form involved.
Activities Ideas:
- A range of ideas in the ‘Twilight’ documents
- Teach a Skill / Run an Activity Forms - student led in form time
- Quiz on school rules and expectations (obviously will need to be adapted)
- Settling in Meetings / Interview Question Sheets
- Caption Competitions
- Desert Island Disks Certificates (students talk about and present extracts of two songs that are important for them)
- Puns and Riddles to keep their mind fresh.
