Show transcript0:01 My drama classroom is my, my haven. It's, it's where I, I come alive. 0:07 Welcome to Mr. G's room, G's room, G's room. Welcome to Mr. G's room, come inside. 0:13 Most of the time it's just chill out with beanbags, pillows, cushions, that sort of thing. 0:18 And take your shoes off, find a spot on the floor. Welcome to Mr. 0:21 G's room, G. 0:22 My teaching methods are fairly unique. 0:25 Someone join in. 0:26 Um, I get pretty experimental, and I go crazy. I just, I just let loose. 0:32 Enter the room. 0:35 Oh, thank God you're here. I've, I've been shot. Thank God you're here. 0:39 Where have you been, bitch? Boring is not a word that you hear in this room. 0:43 Spin around, China man, spin around, spin around. 0:45 If there's something boring to do, then we find a fun way of doing it. 0:50 And he's dead. 0:51 Slap the butcher. 0:52 Slap the butcher is one of the fun games that we play. 0:55 I'm gonna slap you, Emily, I'm gonna slap you. 0:57 It deals with the idea of possession in, in theatre. 1:03 One thing that I like to do from time to time is I just perform for the kids for a, for a whole lesson, just to give them a sort of benchmark of how things are done. 1:14 So they can see that someone at, at a professional industry level handles, um, the performance side of things. 1:25 And that, in a way, gives them confidence. 1:33 There's still a drama syllabus that I have to cover. 1:36 Most of what I do has a grounding in education. There is a lesson to be learned.
