Drama Room: Recent activity

I really like the idea but i think the big LED screen is unnecessary in a learning environment. It can also create a distraction to the students in that classroom. I think you can use the smart board of a projection screen instead of a very expensive LED screen.

I extremely like the idea of having acoustical paneling around the stage because, some people who are shy or natural quit can project their voices easily so that everyone in the room can here

The idea of having high intensity & efficient pot lights is a great idea. However, the Bluetooth option seems redundant because, you can just simply install a dimer switch to get the same desired feel from the lights and I'm pretty sure that if you get the same high intensity and efficiency lights without Bluetooth it would also lower the cost of the lights

I like the idea of having a big LED at the back of the class room, it seems really cool. However, if you think of this logically having a big LED screen is unnecessary because if the main point of having the screen is for backdrops you can just have a simple projection screen and project the image onto that. But in all it seems like a dope idea.

This picture of the stage is great but it looks very dull. It would be good to see other inspirations that you look at to design the room. Also, the idea of having a backstage is a little odd for a drama classroom. I don't really understand the need for a backstage since there are washrooms fairly close to the room and storage rooms within the drama room itself. I just think having a backstage is unnecessary for a drama classroom. It just gives the students and teachers more areas to have to clean up.

I realize that Ms. L. wants to keep the masks and poster memorabilia so you are going to have to get very creative with how you will utilize it in the room. From my experience those things are really old, dusty and faded. YIKES!!!!!!!

I think it would help your group if you collect more images of drama rooms at other schools. One or two images probably won't help a lot. See what other images you can add. I would also like to get some ideas on where you are going to go with colour, flooring etc......What type of atmosphere will this room evoke by the students that use it?
