Drama is physical. On workshop days you will be on the floor, on your feet, and occasionally being a tree, so dress for movement.

Wear

  • Clothes you can move, stretch, and sit on the floor in.
  • Flat shoes that stay on — no flip-flops, no heels. Bare feet or grip socks are fine on studio days when the floor is clean.
  • Nothing you would be upset to crease.

Performance days are different

When a task like Tableau Story Sequence is performed, your group may agree on simple costume pieces. Simple means simple: a hat, a scarf, a jacket. The task pages say when this applies.

Bring

  • Your journal (paper or device — see Drama Journal for what goes in it)
  • Something to write with
  • A water bottle — voice work is thirsty work
  • Anything the current class page lists under “before our next class”

Leave behind

Phones live in bags during workshop, not in pockets — a pocket phone ends up on the floor within a week, and a checked phone breaks the room’s focus. If your group wants to film a rehearsal to review it, ask first; filming other people’s rough work without their okay breaks Our Ensemble Agreement.
