From Shakespeare and the classical Athenian tragedy ‘Oedipus
the King” to a modern example of "Long Day's Journey into Night' by Eugene
O’Neill. Drama will continue to thrill, entertain and educate many generation of
audience for a long time. Being a mode of fiction performed by actors on a
stage before an audience, drama is often combined with music, dance, spoken
words and dialogue to tell a story be it comedy or tragedy.
Tambourine in (DRAMA)
The word 'tambourine' finds its origins in the French word
'tambourin' The tambourine is a musical instrument in the percussion family
consisting of a frame, often of wood or plastic, with pairs of small metal
jingles, called "Zils". Classically the term tambourine denotes an
instrument with a drumhead, and in Drama the 'tambourine' plays a significant
role in class. In Creative Drama the 'tambourine' is used as a cue tool, transition
signal, freeze, movement and concentration. The tambourine is a friend indeed
at the Helen O’ Grady Drama Academy and will continue to play a vital role.
We love the tambourine. We love Drama!
