寒假是充电的好时机,也是建立戏剧自信的黄金机会。这份复习计划专为学习AQA课程的7年级学生设计,帮助你在轻松有趣的氛围中回顾核心概念、打磨表演技巧并保持创作活力。让我们一起把假期变成你的闪耀舞台。
1. Review Key Drama Terminology | 复习关键戏剧术语
Begin by refreshing the basic vocabulary you have learned this term. A solid grasp of terms like gesture, pace, and levels will help you talk about performances more accurately and understand feedback from your teacher.
从本学期学过的基础词汇入手。扎实掌握手势、节奏和层次等术语,能让你更准确地描述表演,也更容易理解老师的反馈。
Gesture – a movement of any part of the body to express an idea or emotion.
手势 – 用身体任何部位的动作来表达想法或情感。
Pace – the speed at which a scene or line is delivered.
节奏 – 场景或台词的表达速度。
Levels – the height at which an actor performs, such as standing, sitting, or lying down, used to show status or mood.
层次 – 演员表演时的高度,如站立、坐着或躺下,用来表现地位或情绪。
Create a set of flashcards with the term on one side and the definition plus a simple drawing on the other. Test yourself for ten minutes every other day.
制作一套抽认卡,一面写术语,另一面写定义并配上简笔画。每隔一天花十分钟自测。
2. Understanding Performance Skills | 理解表演技能
Performance skills can be split into vocal and physical elements. During the break, watch a short clip from a play or film with the sound off and observe how actors use their bodies. Then listen to the same clip without watching, focusing on how voice creates meaning.
表演技能可分为声音和肢体两类。假期里,看一段话剧或电影的短片时先关掉声音,观察演员如何运用身体;然后只听不看,专注于声音如何传递意义。
List three physical skills (e.g. facial expression, posture, gait) and describe how a character in your last scene used each one.
列出三项肢体技能(如面部表情、姿势、步态),并描述你在上一个场景中饰演的角色如何运用了它们。
Do the same for three vocal skills: pitch, tone, and volume. How did your character change their voice at different moments?
同样列出三项声音技能:音高、语调和音量。你的角色在不同时刻是如何变化声音的?
Keep a simple log in your drama journal, writing one sentence about each skill in your own words.
在你的戏剧日志里用简单的句子记录每一项技能,用自己的话总结。
3. Vocal and Physical Warm-ups | 声音与身体热身
A good warm-up prepares your instrument – your body and voice – for creative work. Try to complete a ten-minute warm-up routine every day, even on holiday mornings. It will improve your clarity, flexibility and focus.
好的热身能让你的“乐器”——身体和声音——做好创作准备。即使在假日的早晨,也请每天坚持十分钟的热身练习,这会提升你的清晰度、柔韧性和专注力。
Start with gentle neck rolls and shoulder shrugs to release tension. Move on to face stretches: chew an imaginary toffee, then make huge happy and sad faces.
从轻柔的颈部转动和耸肩放松开始,再过渡到面部拉伸:假装嚼太妃糖,然后做出夸张的开心和悲伤表情。
For your voice, hum ascending and descending scales, then practise tongue twisters like “red lorry, yellow lorry” slowly at first, then faster while keeping each consonant crisp.
声音方面,哼唱升降音阶,然后练习绕口令如 "red lorry, yellow lorry",先慢后快,确保每个辅音清脆。
You can put together a personal warm-up playlist with five exercises and repeat it each day to build muscle memory.
你可以编排一套包含五个练习的个人热身清单,每天重复以建立肌肉记忆。
4. Exploring Character Building | 探索角色塑造
Strong characters come from asking questions. Pick a character from a fairy tale, a book, or your last devised piece. Use the “Role on the Wall” technique: draw a simple outline of a person, then write the character’s inner thoughts inside and outer facts outside.
鲜活的角色诞生于提问。从童话、书本或上回创编作品中选一个角色,运用“墙上角色”技巧:画一个简单的人形轮廓,在里面写下内心想法,在外面写下外在事实。
Think about their objective – what do they want most in the scene? Then give them a secret that nobody else knows. How does that secret affect how they move or speak?
思考角色的目标——这个场景中他最想要什么?再赋予他一个别人都不知道的秘密。这个秘密如何影响他的动作或说话方式?
Write a short monologue (six to eight sentences) from that character’s viewpoint, using the first person. Perform it to a family member, focusing on believing every word you say.
从角色视角写一段六到八句的独白,用第一人称。向家人表演,专注于相信你所说的每一个字。
5. Analysing a Short Script | 分析短剧本
Choose a short AQA-style script extract – your teacher may have provided one, or you can find a scene from a play suitable for young performers. Read it aloud twice: once for story, once for detail.
选一段AQA风格的短剧本摘录——你的老师可能已经提供,或找一适合青少年演员的剧本场景。大声朗读两遍:第一遍理解故事,第二遍关注细节。
Highlight the stage directions in one colour and the dialogue in another. Notice what the playwright tells you about setting, mood, and movement without any words being spoken.
用一种颜色标出舞台指示,另一种颜色标出台词。注意剧作家是如何不用一句对白就传达出背景、氛围和动作的。
Ask yourself: what is the tension in this scene? How does each line raise the stakes? Write two sentences summarising the scene’s dramatic conflict.
问问自己:这个场景的张力在哪里?每一句台词如何提升了风险?写两句话概括场景的戏剧冲突。
If possible, invite a friend to read the other part via video call and discuss how you would stage the scene in a real space.
如果可以,邀请一位朋友通过视频通话读另一半台词,并讨论如何在真实空间里呈现这个场景。
6. Devising from Stimuli | 从刺激点创编
Devising is a core part of AQA Drama. Use your holiday surroundings as inspiration. Find one object at home – an old key, a photograph, a ticking clock – and build a two-minute solo performance around it.
创编是AQA戏剧的核心部分。以假期环境为灵感,从家中找一个物品——旧钥匙、照片、滴答作响的钟——围绕它创编一段两分钟的独角戏。
First, brainstorm words that the object suggests (e.g. memory, time, secrets). Then create three freeze frames (still images) that tell a simple story with a beginning, middle, and end.
首先,头脑风暴这个物品引发的词语(如记忆、时间、秘密)。然后创作三幅定格画面,讲述一个有开头、中间和结尾的简单故事。
Add a single sentence of narration before each freeze frame. Transition smoothly between images using slow motion or a repeated gesture. Film your piece and watch it back, noting what is clear and what could be even stronger.
在每个定格画面前加一句叙述。用慢动作或重复的手势实现画面间的流畅过渡。拍摄你的作品并回看,标记出清晰之处和可加强的地方。
7. Watching and Evaluating Performances | 观看与评估表演
Live theatre is a brilliant teacher. Watch a recorded stage production (many theatres offer online streams). While watching, pause at three key moments and write down what the actors are doing with their bodies, voices, and use of space.
现场戏剧是最好的老师。观看一部录制好的舞台作品(很多剧院提供线上点播)。观看时,在三个关键时刻暂停,写下演员如何运用身体、声音和空间。
Use the “What? So What? Now What?” reflection model. For each moment, describe what you see, explain why it is effective, and suggest how you might use a similar technique in your own work.
运用“什么?所以呢?现在怎么办?”的反思模型。对每个时刻,描述你看到了什么,解释为何有效,并建议如何将类似技巧用在自己的表演中。
Write a short review (150 words) as if you were a critic for a children’s theatre blog. Focus on one element, such as the use of lighting or the actor’s physicality.
写一篇简短的评论(约150字),假设你是儿童戏剧博客的评论员。聚焦一个元素,如灯光的运用或演员的肢体动作。
8. Solo Performance Practice | 独白练习
Choose a monologue you have already explored or pick a new one that excites you. Break the text into three beats – changes in thought or emotion – and rehearse each beat separately until you can perform it without thinking about the words.
选择一段以前学过的独白,或挑一段让你兴奋的新独白。把文本分成三个节拍——思想或情绪的转折点——并分别排练,直到能脱口而出。
Experiment with performing the same lines using three completely different emotions: angry, delighted, and terrified. Notice how your voice, pace and body change automatically.
用三种截然不同的情绪演绎同样的台词:愤怒、喜悦、惊恐。注意你的声音、节奏和身体是如何自动变化的。
Record your final version and use a checklist to evaluate yourself: clarity, confidence, eye contact (with the camera as audience), and emotional truth. Give yourself one clear target for improvement.
录下最终版本并用一个清单自评:清晰度、自信度、与镜头(作为观众)的眼神交流及情感真实度。给自己设定一个明确的改进目标。
9. Rehearsal Techniques for Groups | 小组排练技巧
Even if you cannot meet in person, you can practise group rehearsal techniques online. Arrange a video call with two or three classmates and try a “soundscape” exercise: build an environment using only vocal sounds and short repeated phrases.
即使不能见面,也可在线上练习小组排练技巧。与两三位同学视频通话,尝试“音景”练习:只用声音和简短的重复短语构建一个环境。
Choose a location (a busy market, a forest at night, a spaceship). Layer sounds one by one, responding to each other’s rhythms. Play back the recording and discuss how the piece could be developed into a short scene.
选定一个地点(热闹的市场、夜晚的森林、宇宙飞船)。逐层叠加声音,回应彼此的节奏。回放录音并讨论如何将其发展成一个短场景。
Another activity is “mirroring”: one person leads with slow, clear movements while the other tries to copy exactly, as if in a mirror. Swap leaders. This builds focus and non-verbal connection.
另一个活动是“镜像”:一人用缓慢清晰的动作引领,另一人精准模仿,就像照镜子。交换领舞者。这能培养专注力和非语言连接。
10. Keeping a Drama Journal | 写戏剧日志
A drama journal is a safe space to capture ideas, sketch blocking, and reflect on progress. Dedicate a notebook solely to Drama and decorate the cover with images that inspire you.
戏剧日志是一个安全的空间,用来记录想法、画走位草图和反思进展。准备一个专门的笔记本,用启发你的图画装饰封面。
Each day, write for five minutes without stopping. You might describe a character that popped into your head, scribble a dream that felt like a play, or answer the question “If my character were an animal, what would they be and why?”
每天不间断地写五分钟。你可以描写一个脑中闪现的角色,速记一个像话剧般的梦境,或回答“如果我的角色是一种动物,会是什么?为什么?”
Glue in ticket stubs, photographs, or fabric swatches that connect to your work. At the end of the holiday, read back through your journal and notice how your thinking has developed.
把票根、照片或布料小块贴进去,与你的戏剧创作相连。假期结束时回读日志,觉察你的思维发生了怎样的成长。
11. Self-Reflection and Goal Setting | 自我反思与目标设定
Honest reflection turns experience into learning. Look back at your performances from the autumn term – perhaps you have a video or a memory of a class piece. Identify one moment you are proud of and one moment where you wanted to take a risk but did not.
诚实的反思将经验转化为学习。回顾秋季学期的表演——也许有一段视频或课堂作品的记忆。找出一个你感到骄傲的时刻,以及一个你想冒险却未尝试的时刻。
Write two “I can” statements based on your strengths, such as “I can use stillness to create tension”. Then write two “I will” goals for next term, like “I will experiment with different vocal tones for the same character”.
基于你的优势,写两个“我能做到”的陈述,如“我能用静止制造张力”。再写两个下学期的“我将”目标,如“我将为同一角色尝试不同的声音语调”。
Share these goals with a parent or guardian and ask them to help you notice when you are making progress. Put the list somewhere visible in your room.
把这些目标分享给家长或监护人,请他们帮你留意进步的时刻。把清单贴在你房间里显眼的地方。
12. Fun Drama Games to Stay Engaged | 有趣的戏剧游戏保持兴趣
Revision should be playful. Games keep your improvisation muscles strong and your imagination awake. Try “One-Word Story”: with family members, build a story by saying one word each in turn. Listen carefully and never block the offer.
复习应该充满乐趣。游戏能保持你的即兴发挥能力和想象力。试试“一字故事”:与家人轮流说一个词来共建一个故事。仔细聆听,永远不要否定他人的贡献。
Another favourite is “Freeze and Justify”. Start a random movement, and when someone shouts “freeze”, you must stop and explain why your body is in that position, making up a dramatic reason on the spot.
另一个受欢迎的游戏是“定格与解释”。随意做一个动作,当有人喊“定格”时,你必须停住并现场编出一个戏剧性的理由,解释身体为什么处于那个姿势。
“Emotional Scavenger Hunt” is brilliant for family time: give everyone a simple line like “The door is open” and an emotion card. Others guess the emotion from the delivery. This builds emotional range and projection.
“情绪寻宝”非常适合家庭时光:给每人一句简单台词如“门开着”和一张情绪卡,其他人根据表达猜测情绪。这能拓展情绪表现力和声音投射。
Play one game every two days and note in your journal which skills each game develops. You will return to school feeling playful and prepared.
每两天玩一个游戏,并在日志中记录每个游戏锻炼了哪些技能。你会带着轻松和准备充分的感觉回到学校。
